V impressive from Chris Froome

 

[tug benson]

Yip, does the climb at his own pace, ups the pace then they start falling

 

[tug benson]

Quintana will have to attack

What happened to the rest of his team ?
Not that he needs them, but its a bit embarassing...

I wonder whether in these events SKY sometimes plan to leave a lot for Chris to do alone - it is good practice for adversity. Who knows ?

Aye Pinot takes GC lead

I don't think he does. Pretty sure Zakarin did enough to get the overall.

 

[raindog]

Don't forget the 10 second bonus.

Hope Simon Yates hangs on to the best young rider jersey.

Pinot looks good this year, with some good attacks. The lack of TT prowess will cost him tomorrow though. Don't know what Zakarin is like against the clock though. Froome will be confident of victory tomorrow.

Good TT from Yates considering it's not his thing. Martin won.
final GC placings
1 Zakarin
2 Spilak
3 Froome
4 Pinot
5 Uran
6 Yates
Quintana and Nibali further down, but different riders are at different levels of fitness according to what their programme is
Froome looked disappointed
