Great to see him back in form.

Quintana in real trouble, unless he yo-yo’s

Piti sent him back to the car for a bottle?

If Bala is smart, he should wheelsuck Yates all the way to the finish.

Simon Yates is looking good

Inb4 people hate on Quintana for not attacking.

 

[spalco]

That's ridiculous. They would seriously be faster pushing the bike I think.

 

[bambino]

That looked quite steep.

De La Cruz burning them off one by one from the front, but he’s going to be vulnerable at the finish if he can’t come in solo.

 

[Gigs_98]

Looks like everyone is happy as it stands

 

[Velolover2]

De La Cruz vs. the Mur specialists (Woods/Teuns)?

 

[GuyIncognito]

Looks like everyone is happy as it stands

Or Yates is happy and the others don't have the legs

150 second time gap is now about 500m on the road

You only have one pace in this sort of climbs, no way that anyone would do something before the sprint. I still have no idea why people think having %15+ finishes are a good idea.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Lopez looking bad

Every Grand Tour, someone expects these guys to be Moto GP racers, just turn the throttle and go. And someone else has to explain that they are human, and it's a physical contest and sometimes you just can't muscle it.
