Pinot's one of these riders I just look at and think he's all cock and no balls, but if he pulls this off...

I've lived in Bury one week and everyone's crowded round the one TV set in the market, screaming encouragement at the screen.

Yep was obvious he’d jump ;-)

What a market though.

4km to go... 26 seconds lost. Elbows sticking out wider. Slight look of urgency.

Pinot's fizzled out.

Gap going up again though.

Froome pulling out a little time again

Froome being chased by a giant inhaler?

Carapaz is aff...

Classy counter attack from Windmills

3km to go...

And then back at him. This is brilliant.

These surges are going to hurt...

Lost track what will the top 3 be

Froome needs 3'04 or better to get the jersey

I've not done any work in the last hour - this is fucking great.

What the actual fuck is that?
I don't know where to hate first.

Dumoulin has spent as much of himself today as Froome has.

"Team owner and director of HJL"

Also owner of HJL Jazz Lounge. Also ex "GB World Champion" for "UCI Masters Sportive"

Ex manager of the boy band 'Blue', who once banned several hundred local residents from his pub whilst branding them 'cardigan wearing hippies' or something.

Froome must be on his vinegar strokes now.

Does he post anywhere on the internet?
I might have a new hobby.

2'49 according to the commentary.

From yesterday's results:-

Tom Dumoulin (Ned/Team Sunweb) +28secs
Christopher Froome (GB/Team Sky) +3mins 22secs

That's 2'54 but I guess there were some time bonuses to take into account.

I just wish he wouldn't look like he's a sportive rider tackling Box Hill whilst pulling off such a masterstroke of a stage win.

Yea, 4 secs then 10 secs, but PooMoo has three then ?
