Im guessing there's another time trial stage in the next week? The obvious thing there is : can Thomas hold the lead over domoulin (spelling) before the TT and after? I know Thomas has TT form right now, and I know that domoulin and froome are both post giro. I think it'll be doumoulin, froome, Thomas in that order on the tt stage. I would think Thomas needs about 2 minutes before that stage.
I think sky will make their decision on who is the prime rider after that stage. Their twin leadership model seems to be informal, less structured, and responsive to what is happening out there.
It has obvious reminders of the 2012 tour with froome playing the role of Wiggins, but there appears (from my limited vision and not traveling through Twitter) to be an acceptance of the situation and it's only really the observers (us) who are "who's the leader, who are sky backing?".
To me it appears sky are backing both of them to go as hard as they can, without pitching them against each other, which causes more pressure on the other teams.
Sky can still call up bernal, Powels, and Kwia, to help Thomas and froome.
Who can sunweb call up?
Movistar are shot, and going for the team trophy.
Scott are just getting around.
Bmc. Bmc.
Trek?
Drapac?

"Guys, get in the break again"
