Well, if he has been paid $1 million for appearing in the Giro, he certainly earned it today

Grudging respect for Christopher.

My bank balance will respect you a little more too.

"They want to give him space and air" and, I suspect, an inhaler

What. A. Ride.

Ha. Peanut you little bitch.

Pink for Froome.

the real question: WHERE THE FUCK IS YATES?

What a privilege to have worked from home today!

Still on Finiestre

My god. what a stage. Epic. EPIC.

wait. weren't you betting on Froome-dawg this morning?..

Not sure I've ever seen Froome celebrate a win quite so enthusiasticly.

I was watching on my workplace in the office, totally worth it

Pozzo 8 mins down :(

The tour is going to have to go some not to be branded utterly dull compared to this giro

Fuck me what a ride.

Haha ditto

Nibali, fresh quintana and bardet? Should be alright! But yeah, I completely agree

put fifteen bob on him yesterday at 17-1

Who was it who backed Froome at 18 to 1?

Well played.

Astonishing ride from Froome. His greatest performance, in my opinion. Giro delivers again.

I could have got 25-1 but dithered and ended up at 17-1 too

but will it still be valid in a few weeks? Welcome to Pro Cycling everyone....

Presumably the other Team Sky riders have not put too much into today and so should be relatively fresh to protect him tomorrow.

Yes. It will have to be a sky train day tomorrow. No way Tom can beat them all up.
