While it sucks to not have Yates, Landa, and Thomas in contention, the claims that this has 'ruined' the race, or that somehow Quintada has now nailed it are a bit over the top. I don't think anyone expected Yates to really pose a challenge. Landa and Thomas weren't really the favourites either. In all three cases it was more of them being given a shot. Looking forward to seeing how the next two weeks play out.

Given the severity of the remaining stages, I think a top ten GC place is attainable for both Thomas and Yates. Both are going to have a bit of leeway too, so going for a stage win is a possibility too.

So is it just stage hunting for Sky and Ulrika now? Hard to see anything other than a procession for Quintana from here.
