Sky nowhere near as strong as I thought they were. It could be a bad day, however if he marks Contador he should be ok. Interesting stuff.
easier said than done though if they take it in turns to attack off the front and make him chase. Saxo and Movistar have a huge chance here to work together and put him in difficulty.
Very true, they are trying to break his heart today.

Haha never fails to disappoint!
They need to attack Froome now I think, no point giving him a train to ride.

Because Porte has been pushing to get back on, the pace has remained high, thus nobody has been able to really attack and its mostly downhill now. Froome is doing well so far.

Hope movistar go big here on this final climb and we'll get to see what Froome's made of

Shands said:Froome looks comfortable but they need to keep varying the pace on this last climb, that's where he can struggle a bit. Depends how they feel and how ambitious they are.
FFS the way they are going on, you'd think Froome was going out the back door, not matching pace in 3rd/4th.
Quintana to attack? Cant see anyone else getting away from Froome, not at this pace.
