Well done, Froomey, that was a great ride. Would have been really harsh if Yates had caught him.
Dumoulin did much better than expected. Pinot did much worse - he's slipped back behind Pozzovivo on GC again.

Anyone having to watch Aru dies a little inside as well.

Fabulous racing. Wanted Yates to catch Froome all the way but, credit to Froome, he pulled away at the finish.

My favourite bit was Froome shoving the T-Rex off the road - shame he didn't go tumbling down the mountainside.

Froome leaps up to 5th on GC. If he puts in a good TT, he's on course for a podium finish.
I think that's the best he can hope for, which would be an achievement in itself
That was a high tension stage but it wouldn't call it a great racing spectacle. I think the problem was that the test was so tough that nearly everyone, including Yates, was more or less riding on their power meters. Apart from Froome, there weren't any sequences of attack and counter-attack that make the best mountains. If Sky are responsible for animating a stage then you know the end-times are near. Maybe missing a Bertie or Nibbles?

Great win and confidence boost for groom. Dumpmoulin did well there I thought he would lose more than that . I was willing Pinot on to finish in front of dumoulin just for the PTP points
