pretty amazing today. Froome is obviously suffering badly from his crash so wasnt able to be a protagonist today. Porte looked weak all week so either is looking to peak during the tour or is decidedly off form. Thats gotta be a worry for Froome. Contador showed that he has the form (or the drugs) to podium in the Tour with that great attack on the second last hill, so strong but he shouldve gone earlier with Nibali.
Nibali looks distinctly second tier. I would place him 4th or 5th in the Tour at the moment which is a shame.
Also, what a ride from Talansky. Hes been up there all week but what a ride today. He drove the break most of the crucial time when Contador was attacking and made sure that he stayed a minute out.
great day of racing but dont judge froome on it
