Pinot bitching out Lopez for not working...

Kinda reminds me of the Schleck Galibier stage.

Dumoulin is Cadel.

Even if he blows he’ll gain fans surely

'sports science' i see what you did there ;)

I like froome, some people don't because hes the consummate professional and is so dominant. But he does race hard.

I confess, I don't like him but if he wins it's

Yates' time not even being shown anymore.

Just passed 2'31

Dumoulin doesn't look capable of bringing this back if he can't do it on Sestriere.

Pinot now virtual 3rd.

Assuming Froome manages this and still has enough in the tank tomorrow...

It will then be Sunweb in Mitchelton Scott’s position today.

How knackered is froome gonna be tomorrow though?

Froome only needs 20 seconds on Dumoulin, which he should have by the bottom of the descent...

Not if Froome is in pink

Everyone will be knackered tomorrow.

Is true. I'm exhausted just watching

Careful with those gels Tom...

FYI, it's not quite as the profile looks. Its down for a bit now then fairly flat up teh valley to the bottom of the climb, it's a little drag but not much. So Froome will stay away for sure, unless he cracks on teh climb,

By the way guys, it is also important to fight for strong hair.

So Froome's taken over a minute since the foot of Finestre to the descent of the Sestriere.

Riechenbach really doesn't like descending...

They won’t get that moved in two mins

Now in meme form!

Took me far longer than I care to admit to make that :D

2'41 now to Dumo, if Froome keeps this plus bonification, he's in pink

Tomorrow will be amazing. DuMoulin and Froome will probably be with in seconds of each other on the final racing day, with 4km of climbing.

What a scrap.
