It only really turned into a half decent stage with 4 kms to go.
It was a brave ride by Feillu, who showed real courage in going for it so far out and succeeding. Nocentini rode well too, and deserves his yellow.
Evans should've sat up earlier on his first attack, as all he did was string it out, but at least he tried. That should silence the sceptics for an hour or two.
Contador's attack was superb, showing once again that he is the best climber in the world. He needed to assert his authority on his own team today and he did that perfectly. The team has benefitted from Nocentini taking yellow as AG2R will defend the jersey tomorrow, taking the pressure off Astana.
Finally, what a ride by Wiggins! He was superb and his final acceleration had some of the best GT riders in the world scrambling to get on his wheel. Let's hope he can hold this level of form for 2 more weeks.
