Yup. Day will be over if Froome (and his army) just has to defend.

Lolz Presume HJL is the wrong order!?

Who's laughing at Pinot's TT now?!

Pozzo is being dropped and shouted at by Bennet. lols

I'm imagining he is still way ahead of the grupetto.

Still one mountain to go for Froome-dawg

Your guess is as good as mine-not seen any kind of update since Finestre

Froome is going to do his weird top tube pedalling thing and ride off into a field. Windmills will chug a bunch of caffeine then spend the second half of the stage in someone's camper van portaloo, missing the time cut off. Leaving Pozzo to ride across the line in glorious technicolour.

Can't believe this whole peloton of hosers is being mugged off by Froome.

Might Yates miss the time cut off??

Slomos of Froome humping the top tube don't really make my winkle tinkle

I wonder what Froome has left for the climb? That lead could evaporate if he gets into bother. Alternately, he could pull out another 3 minutes. Mad day. -

Who's laughing at Pinot's TT now?!

Oh, I still am

Dumoulin cursing his luck to be relying on a French team to hold up their end.

I ain't happy. This is bullshit.

Retire now Christobel "Kris" Froome and take your absolute melvin pedalling style with you.

The next voice you will hear will be that of Carlton Kirby.

Turns off TV.

Hope Froome doesn't need a software update on the climb.

Guess Froome must have pinched Yates' inhaler at breakfast yesterday.

Another gel for PooMoo... watch Reichenbach pull his visor down

his up-and-down-form throughout this Giro is baffling, and gaining time on the chasing group going solo even more so

Was that PooMoo taking food from the car in the last 20km? Or was he just outside.

Froome did too... Must be last 10/15km?

7.2km at 9% for Jaffereau climb.

It'll be interesting how they pace the climb, because they also don't want to be completely fucked tomorrow.
If Tom can pull back some time, then he'll have to weather an all out offensive by Sky, after going up 9% climb faster than Froome.

Froome could blast it and then hope that the Sky train smothers everyone tomorrow even if he is knackered, though Dumoulin should be equally knackered.

yes, different number for mountain stage

I almost think Dumoulin would be better off starting 5 seconds down rather than 5 seconds up tomorrow. Though he could be minutes down.
