Some interesting facts;

Froome's ascent of the Finestre, even will the full Sky lead out was the slowest there has been as 2005, 2011, 2015 were all faster.

Richard Carapaz ascended the Jafferau fastest, but was almost 3 minutes slower than Santambrogio and Nibali in 2014, a stage run in appalling conditions. Dumoulin and Froome both 20 odd seconds slower than Carapaz.

That is interesting. Where did you get the facts?

I wonder if Froome's performance yesterday was Sky showing their 3 week stage race experience. Keeping some energy in the bank right until the end.
