I want to ride that road.

Looks lovely, doesn't it.

hugh carthy having a good dig

 

[smutchin]

Carthy caught with 3.6km to go. Looks gutted!

Masnada still just about clinging on to his lead... looks absolutely cooked though. Peloton have got him in their sights now.

And rocking and rolling with it. He looks all done in.

Aru caught the wrong side of a split in the pack. Froome looking strong though.

 

[smutchin]

Spoke too soon - Froome is losing touch!

 

[Bollo]

Yates. Smiling.

 

[roadrash]

well done simon yates , froome loses another minute

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Brilliant finishing by Yates!

 

[smutchin]

Fantastic finish.

 

[smutchin]

Chaves up to 2nd overall by my reckoning.

Pinot still in 4th a few seconds behind Dumoulin.

 

[roadrash]

yep, he is

 

[smutchin]

Not just Froome who has lost time today - it's another bad day for Aru as well.

 

[roadrash]

dumpmoulin is still looking good
