I got pissed off watching the highlights yesterday when they completely cut the 10km in which the break for caught and Sky started dropping Mitchelton Scott out the back, but after the stage had finished I realised why they had to - there was too much for an hour and a half.
Incredible ride from Froome (hopefully only in the usual sense), but what I enjoyed most was the battle for white behind him on Jafferau, with Carapaz and Lopez like two naughty children in an office while the two grown ups tried to get on with their work around them.
I was also heartened to see that Froome generally got left alone by, and generally even got a positive reception from the crowd, even where there was very little security. Rides like today show why it's so important he is found to be clean- the ruthlessness and the ability he has and his achievements can't just disappear under the suspicion.
