You see that with Nibali then? Woah!
My heart stopped! That could have been bad.
Theres gonna be a crash there.. How do they not have someone alerting the riders to the danger of that bend there.

Yeah, looked at him, seen he dropped the chain and then attacked. Pretty poor. could have course say he is taking advantage of a situation and that's sport but in cycling there is a stiff etiquette and I reckon riders will give him stick for it. Like attacking when people are feeding and stuff, it's just frowned upon and not liked by the peloton so Nibali will get stick for it.
Somebody is surely going to bail on these bends, so much people being caught out today all over these bends. Hopefully Nibali bails and gets attacked huh

Bardet has front mech issues

Having to watch this on Itv4 and not Eurosport and these advert breaks destroy the coverage.
Soldato
How did I not know it was Eurosport :/ Ive been watching the whole tour on ITV which I hate!

This is so dull

Yup, has been since they went down the back of Croix De Fer

Just what Froome wants.

Maybe he's paying them all off zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

This has been one of the most boring GC battles in quite a long time. Hope this final climb creates some interest. The Tour is a great spectacle but the Giro/Vuelta always have better racing.

About time!

Oh yeah... Nice bit of racing at the end there. Great stuff, makes tomorrow way more interesting now!

So it's gonna be all go for Alpe de Huez tomorrow by the look of things. Quintana is going to have to go all out.
Very poor showing, but typical of the French. Always been bad losers, still quite surprised they let the Germans race in le Tour.
Sounds like Sky are getting a bit shakey, hope they can hold it together as the rest of the teams haven't show the class they have. I expected more from Movistar and Tinkoff to be honest.
Gutted for Thomas to lose so much and drop out of the top 10 after the Tour he's had
Still think Valverde has more to give but kudos to Nibali.

He's entertaining for interviews even if he wasn't such a good bike rider as well. Here's hoping he gets a shot at being the lead for one of the grand tours in the not too distant future.
I'm hoping that Froome can keep enough of a gap to win it but it's asking quite a lot to expect him (plus team) to be on good form every day.
Soldato
Thomas isn't capable of winning a Grand Tour IMO. Not a good enough TTer or climber and a bit late to develop either skill...
Really think he has more future in the Classics so hopefully he doesn't fall foul of the Sky obsession with the Tour.

If push comes to shove he can always move to another team.
