    Sure it would be abnormal if he didn't do that now. I'd be interested in the thermal camera view of that. Just to see how warm the pedals get, naturally.

    Froome has been distanced in previous tours to come back and win stage!

    Is this a sign that Froome is not the number 1 any more at Sky?

    Not today. The boos were very audible as he was crossing the line too.

    Meh anything stopping Froome holding all 3 GTs and doing Giro-Tour double is best. But yeah the state of Thomas, a classics and track guy being the best climber and GC rider in the Tour. Sport is gone to the dogs.

    Good stage IMO, G shows who’s boss, Quintana restores some pride and Dan proved again he is a tough bast€&d.
    And Bernal was like a younger Quintana

    Correct me if I’m wrong but was Thomas not hanging in with the best climbers 2 years ago until he smashed his head on a post

    Did Sagan manage to continue after his crash I didn't hear them mention him after.
