Tour de France 2016

Froome is either okay, or he's bluffing that he's okay. I think it's the former.

most exciting stage of the tour so far? glad the judge let us go home early today!

Froomes crashed he's caught back on (on a team mates bike that doesnt fit) now he's ahead of Quintana.

Poor Mollema, a minute behind the GC group.

Is Yates still hanging in there? If he's in the GC group he'll be up to second tonight. Higher if he can attack while Froome is on a mis-sized bike.

Yep he's there. Damage limitation for Mollema at the moment.

Yay for Yates tho

Yay-tes, surely!

Pantano pacing his 2017 team mate early.

Dan!

Which part of Froome's borrowed bike is causing him most discomfort?

a) wrong saddle height
b) proper round chainrings
c) unfamiliar stem

Yates in trouble.

Yates dropping off

^^^ ha

Sky desperately trying to slow everyone down. Really interesting to watch.

First time I've seen teammates block an attack like that - Henao and Poels just moved in front of Porte and Quintana.

This is brutal!

Yates getting back on.

But Porte goes as he does!

yes yates, get back on

This is painful to watch

yates gets back on, all kicks off and he's still just hanging on

Yates just needs to hold off 43 seconds from Porte to get into second place. Bit less from Quintana though who might just make it on to the podium as Mollema rolls backwards down the hill.

Bardet is at least 30 seconds ahead though.

Aru! And people say Froome looks ugly attacking!

Looks like Yates is properly back on, for now. How has Bardet stayed away through all this? Top effort

Yates still in there!
