Chaves takes time on Froome in echelons. Now I have seen it all.

By the way, I hope that today's stage shows people the negative side to the "three seconds between two riders to count a gap"-rule that several people want to implement. Luckily it isn't in place for this race, otherwise no differences would have happened in the final.
 
Main GC guys classification

Froome
Chaves +5
A Yates +8
Majka +12
S. Yates +13
Nibali +14
Contador +31
Aru +32
Kruijswick +36
Pozzovivo +37
Bardet +42

Bardet to be already counted out? Only stage2 and a massive disadvantage

Tomorrow's stage should be fun. I would love to see contador doing damage in the peloton. A man can dream

No holding back tomorrow. We'll know who is NOT going to win the race.

4.3km at almost 9% avg can do a lot lot of damage to anyone not in good shape.
I expect a small group of GC guys to crest together and then bomb it down to the finish.

How technical is the final descent?
