What was it that Froome just had? Didn't look like a gel or any cycling food I've ever seen.

This ride by Froome is simply incredible.

Incredible.

Simply incredible.

from being in the pink to being in the stink in just one stage.

Bet everyone is looking to the return of the Hammer Series later today?

Also what help is Reichenbach providing? Is there a joint benefit for Dumoulin and Pinot?

just dropped a love bomb

Every time the power and cadence thing goes up, Froome is at 350w.
Uphill, on the flat, downhill.
For 80km.

Carapaz and Lopez better hope they never need a favour from Dumoulin or Pinot. I'm amazed they aren't taking soft turns at least.

So easy to forget there's 50km left to go. He must believe he can hold it, or surely he wouldn't have gone?

Drink looks weird, would like to know what it is. Small purple bottle, I thought it was sunblock or something for a second

Thanks all, gutted I missed it. I love Finestre. I'll have to re watch that.

Yates clearly lost it, shame for him. Fatigue just over taken.

Wow froome. Showing just who he really is, one of the greatest GT racers we've seen. People bash him for being boring, but god he does race hard.

Why? They’ve no need to chase, their race is man to man now.

Ketones probably

Froome's doubled his advantage since the summit...

Two more climbs and 56 seconds...

Well they can both move up on GC if they can gain enough over Pozzovivo, but appreciate the young rider comp is the priority.

Froome's doubled his advantage since the summit...

And steadily increasing.

now '44!

Carapaz needs over a minute on López so at some point, he’s going to Be playing games and attacking, which isn’t great for Dumoulin.

Pinot needs 1m40 on Pozzovivo group to go into 3rd at the end of today, so in his team’s interest to push the gap.

So hard to dislike after this! If Sky nail this then the TdF they must have their sports science pretty nailed on.

There's just the small matter of UCI regs to contend with...

You have to hand it to Froome, this is a fucking ballsy ride. Still 50km to go, solo. If he blows, he loses the Giro but if he can maintain this it’ll be the most outrageous move to win a GT since Landis.

That's why Carapaz and Lopez haven't been riding.
