Froomey ! Best GC ride I've seen in recent times.Feel for Yates though his time will come I'm sure.Over the moon with today though !!

Chapeau to Froome, that was a hell of a performance but has he kept some in reserve for tomorrow? Commiseration to Yates but he has a great future in front of him.

That was one of those moments in sport, like Beamon's long jump, or Banks's save from Pele, or Bolt running 100m in 9.58 secs, where you go: "WTF have I just seen there?"

Hopefully for the right reasons.

Floyd Landis won in Morzine

I'll admit that the memory of Smoking' Floyd popped into my head briefly.

Just seen George Bennett getting interviewed after the stage and being told the outcome, and stating "Bullsh*t. Like Landis...<nervous laugh> Jeesus."

Froome's ascent of Finestre, even will the full Sky lead out was the slowest there has been. (2005, 2011, 2015 were all faster)
Richard Carapaz ascended the Jafferau fastest, but was almost 3 minutes slower than Santambrogio/Nibali in 2014, in appalling conditions.
Dumoulin and Froome both 20 odd seconds slower than Carapaz

Make of that what you will.

Interesting but we need to know when they ascent happened within the 3 week race.
This was the second to last day with 80km left to go so you expect them to be slow.

I can’t imagine Froome would be doing anything silly whilst riding under the microscope

Obviously. It's not as if he nor anyone else has ever done anything like that before.
