Froome is a far superior climber to Dumoulin, especially in the third week of a GT. A lot of pundits seem to have forgotten that Dumoulin shed the best part of 4 minutes to the likes of Pinot, Quintana and Nibali in the final week last year, although he had a time trial as a buffer as the final stage so could afford to lose some time. He doesn't have that luxury this year.

Good point forgot about the fall. Perhaps it is causing issue.
Still 1 minute down to Tom D is a lot, given just how good Tom is and that they're very similar riders will make it hard. Surprised Wout P has lost so much time too, you think sky would have kept him up there as plan b.
