Golden from Orica. Make a showing on the penultimate climb and your attacking rider blows up before your leader blows up at 10k to go haha

Well Chaves sucking does at least explain why they weren't cranking up the pace for him.

A lot of GC men look in terrible form today. Could be big gaps with that ramp to come in the final 3k's.

Want to know what a **** sport is? 13 grand tours behind her brought back by two below average helpers.

The salt river is beginning to flow. Highly disrespectful to refer to the Sky men as below average. They're not.
13 grand tours. Not 1 not 2, 13. Brought back by stage hunters

Stop digging. 13 Grand Tours yes, but neither are at their best right now. One hasn't been at his best for 3 years...

I think Sky should have written Nieve a blank cheque to make him stay, such a valuable dom for froome in the mountains.

Definitely smelling a Zakattack

Sky are strong but they can afford to blow out their riders, we all know that. Nibali didn't want to go too deep if not enough of the Sky team were cracking off an acceleration and Contador didnt' want to work so it's no huge surprise they didn't get a long way up the road.
