    Quintana the wheel sucker

    Horrible bike rider for me. I've never seen him do anything else.

    Chapeau to Pinot, a great victory!

    Quintana can f**k right off! Pain in the ass watching him

    Great finish.

    Edit: i wonder is the quintana trolling of yates by not chasing, mindful of the giro when yates went full gas in the end of most stages for a few secs, and blew by the end. Maybe hoping for more of the same when they get to Andorra - he chased lopez down hard by the end again today

    Not once on that climb did Quintana make a concerted effort to pull away or attempt to put in an attack. Yeats got pretty pissed at his lack of co-operation, Quintana's answer to which was to ask Valvarde to pull through and attack. Pathetic rider.

    Yates waving him through was bound to have got to Quintana mentally I'd say. Has he legs or no? We'll never know because he never bloody uses them!!!!!

    Yates v Valverde for the title I feel, there are some Murito finishes next week where bonifications could be important, Valvarde would take 30 odd seconds off Yates in the TT, you'd think. Quintana just doesn't seem to have it in the legs and MAL needs to be taking time on these finishes as his TT is the worst of the remaining favourites. Steven Kruijswijk is also a big danger with the TT to come. The Pyrenean stages are going to be epic after the TT and the Murito and the Mountains of next week!

    No a Quintana fan at all but the leader of the race looking for turns to chase MAL?

    Apparently Quintana though Lopez won in his post-race interview - he didn't realise that Pinot was further up the road
