Listen to David Millar on the ITV TdF podcast.
He thought the Movistar 'show of strength' was amateurish.

It wasnt going to dislodge anybody other than Berty. Whos had the shite kicked out of him and deserves a little more IMHO.
A few Sky riders popped out the back. But I didnt see any reason for them to maintain a full team around Froome. So might just have been saving themselves.
Still. I thought it was fun.
Romain Bardets attack was worse. Boom....watch me Climb away........erm where the hill go?

There are a decent Group of sprinters With various teams and strengths. The first 80% of these stages isnt going to be edge of seat stuff. But its definitely not dull.
Yesterday Movistar got on the front and fecking beasted it. Not sure what the intention was. But it opened a massive backdoor.
Romain Bardet seemed to og on some huge pointless attack towards the end too.
Conty hasnt been written off yet. Love him or hate him. He makes for unpredictable racing.
Not really sure about Teejay. But if he can hold on it'll be another candidate and team that needs marking.
I think its shaping up nicely.
