I don't have any prblem looking at Froome riding in the front when riding up a mountain, but I do crinch often when I see him "squirming" sometimes to free space around him when he is at the front in this stage

Sagan doing some nice work to bring Contador back

Froome just has a big wobble, absolutely frantic at the moment!

Froome's bike handling is bloody terrible

Froome's bike handling is bloody terrible

He did get a fairly large shove though, I'll let him off that one.

Not doing himself any favours

'Undergeared' suggests to me that he didn't have the option of a high enough gear, but that clearly wasn't the case - he chose to be in that spinny gear!

I realised that he was not in his top gear!

Froome was spinning even quicker than he normally does so I wondered if he stayed in that gear because he had left it a bit too late to go for a higher one.

He probably wasn't actually quite as close as he appeared to be from the front camera position but I was willing him to grab a higher gear, stand up, and give it one last lunge.

And yes, I also realise that he knows what he is doing and did what was best for him, just like the 'stick elbows out and stare at the stem' thing that he does!

The human motorbike is off.

Dark days for him.
Pinot noir.

Kind of spoils it a bit that Sky aren't interested in chasing, but still great to see.
