This Tour is already miles better than the previous one, we actually have a possibility of another exciting stage! That'll make it 2 more than last year already.

They might not put time into Froome today but today is the day when the other teams can get rid of Porte. If the big guns attack early then Porte might have to hit the front much earlier than planned.

Who knows, perhaps he'll even get dropped eventually if he has to do 50 km or more on the front.
Seems like this prediction might be nail on. 133 km to go and Porte has already had to hit the front! Surely if they keep going like this he'll get dropped eventually.

Brailsford had to reboot after Kennaugh went down the ravine. It's all back to normal now.

Yep. Thank you Garmin. This could be an epic stage.

once again it is proven that the riders make the race. People were saying this stage would be awful... So far excellent..!
