Froome seems to be performing well, especially considering the amount of race days and travels over the past 2 months. The key is - if he can keep this up and maybe even perform better the next 10 days (especially the ITT) he can win the whole thing. But it is still possible that all the racing will take its toll and he'll become tired towards the end of the race.

The official line was that he was ill wasn't it?

Was it? I missed that. The last few days have reminded me why I like Quintana: was really disappointed in France.
So what can Froome afford to give away before Stage 19's 37k TT. I think if it slips outside 1.30 to Quintana he's had it. And he normally fades in week 3 but he's not normally riding himself in. I still think the Vuelta is his Nemesis and his best chance was in 2011. I stand ready for Rich to eat my hat though.

What an amazing last few km's!
NQ - fantastic performance.
CF - paced himself out of trouble, same as he always does :-)
AC - gutsy ride. He doesn't give up easily.
Can't wait for Wednesday now!

Did we ever find out why Froome dropped back? Urgent toilet break?
