    What a great final stage in the mountains! Loving this three-way ding dong.

    Mollema gone straight out the back of the yellow jersey group. Probably going to lose 10th place in GC.

    At least he tried so fair play to him for giving it a go :)

    Jaysus Nibbles just went up a gear and accelerated away from the two lads.

    Izaguerre has just blasted past Pantano and Alaphillipe. Pantano is getting dragged up to Nibali

    I can't see the three lads making it to the bottom of the descent all together. Someone will end up on the deck and in a ditch.

    Shorter stages
    Five Sky men together in a small group. Thrilling as usual though at least the stage win issue looks exciting, if we get the pictures of the front trio back.

    Where's the descent? It's a big nasty false flat! Hate them.

    Henao was Froome's main man in the earlier mountains :confused:

    Disappointing that M[font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]ollema was the only rider in the top 10 to attack on the final [/font][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]opportunity in this years Tour to move up a few places in GC. I expected [/font][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Quintana, Bardet, Porte etc to give it a go at the very least on the last climb, if not earlier. I thought with a few attacks we would see Froome isolated, but he had four team mates around him going over the final climb.[/font][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif] [/font]

    Insausti attacks on the descend and has opened a nice lead, pantano chasing in second by 15 secs. Niballi's fall yesterday can't be good for the nerves!

    Great for Kreuziger as he should now get a top 10 so the effort today will see him move up

    Pantano and Nibali will be disappointed with that descent

    Insausti wins and hard to believe its Moviestars first stage win this year!

    OK fair enough there's a drop of water on the road but FFS, everyone is just letting Sky sterilise the whole thing. Why the hell did no one attack? There's definitely room for someone to make some ground..... I despair.
    Great descent by Insausti though

    Nibali has the Olympics in the back of his mind. No need to risk it, especially with Dumoulin's crash and consequences yesterday.

    Ah now in fairness you can't be attacking the yellow jersey in the rain a day after he fell. That wouldn't be very fair now would it!

    In boxing parlance, nobody fit to put a glove on Froome
