    First day in the hills and the Sky bots are out already.

    Havent seen this sort of race in a long team. 
    The yellow jersey is in a small break with 39secs on another group contining the green, which has 3'20 further back to the SKY train dragging the peloton to the foot of the next few hills and under a 100K to go. 
    Great to see no one helping SKY, and with both breaks containing high quality riders it will require alot of energy to pull them back.

    Has Froome done his patented "riding on bike bar instead of saddle" this year yet?

    Yeah he did it coming off the last col chasing onto the back of the group he lost touch with after his brake issues. 
    You could see the effect, he was booking it.

    Might still be a little too tender to attempt that after Sundays outing over cobbles ;)

    Craddock has gotten the most exposure of any rider so far, he is sitting on the back of the peloton every day :D

    6 Sky riders at the front. It never changes does it? We hope but it doesn't.

    I'd imagine Sky may allow Froome and Thomas to race up the last climb and see who's boss for the rest of the Tour.

    Back in the bunch now with Sky. But some of the other GC rivals have been distanced because of Dan's attack.

    Delighted for Alaphilippe, and happy for GvA to put in that ride and keep yellow out of Sky's hands for at least another day. Dan is looking in better shape than a few of the other GC guys.
