The cleverness of that stage win is Sky played possum until the very final climb. BMC and Astana did most of the concerted chasing with about 40-50k to go, then they sent their best to the front, basically four world class climbers. Froome was sheltered, weathered the attacks from Contador and Nibali, then counter-attacked brilliantly in the final k. That said he didn't get the leader's jersey so extremely impressive from Kwato....Kotwa...that Polish chap
