5º C Froome +18"

Tejay!!!!

The nerve... dropping out of Paris NIce (which was a race very well suited for him) after 70km

...and now almost winning in Catalunya (which should be a bit too steep for him)

Uran is still MIA...

If someone was still unsure about the fact that De Gendt is a bit of weird/unpredictable character/rider...this was his (Twitter) reaction after yesterday's stage:
"I didn't want to go solo in the end. I had to do it because i was getting cold."

Maybe OPQS should stop giving him drinkingwater halfway in the mountaineous GT-stages and force him to drive as quickly as possible to the finish-line to get his water

JRod takes this for GC. Great stage win for Westra.

Did Froome climb off? Not in the final GC standings at all? Strange.
