    THought that looked a bit sh...y from Froome. As for Majka not doing any work - he's been riding hard in the break all day!

    Yeah that was a bit unusual. Froome and Poels were hell bent on not letting Majka getting first over the summit.

    We normally get annoyed and give out when Carlton Kirby keeps going on about a particular rider during a stage..... well today he has mentioned Dan Martin at least two hundred and seventy five times :pac:

    Poor old Kelderman's teammate Bennett got no reward for his selfless efforts there!

    Cavendish is a long way back. I don't think he'll get in in time unless he gets into the groupeto.

    Unfortunately Sky strong enough to negate everything all right. And doesn't look like any reason that'll change as the Tour goes on. There's still 4 of them at the head of things here.

    .... And things kick off! - momentarily.

    A big FU from Froome and Team Sky to the organisers. No summit finish for the first big mountain stage to stop what has happened the last two Tour victories. So, he'll win it on the descent!

    Yeah have to be impressed with this attempt, so ballsy. Guess the meme that he's a bad bike handler has to die now :(
