I like how everyone is looking at each other. None of them are brave enough to attack. This tour has been one of the worst.

I'm so looking forward to the watt/kg numbers from Nibali today, he looks like he's using everything that was left in the Astana team bus refrigerator

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Bhyo will not rest until everyone crosses the finish line at the exact same time, arm in arm, unfolding a 100% me banner

This looks like a max effort from nibali though so this will be interesting once the performance gets analysed

He's as stuffed as froome yet no-one says anything because he's an Italian rider. Its sickening.

I appreciate you've only been watching cycling since the 2012 tour but he has actually done quite well for a while.

The official Tour feed is saying weird things are happening on the mountain:

17:07 Nibali at 4km

With 4km to go, Nibali is 30 seconds ahead of Nibali.

My stance for the entire tour is being proven right in this ride and you're falling back to personal attacks :)

The time trial for the podium is going to be very fun.
Pinot
Péraud +00' 13"
Valverde +00' 15"
Bardet +02' 17"

Valverde is likely to get on the podium, since his time trial skills are better as Pinot and Péraud. Bardet won't get on the podium, unless people start falling like Rasmussen did. The French must be happy, they have a podium place.

Disregard. 37.20 26th fastest of all time, and also one of the fastest 'solo' climbs.

Should be around 6.2 or 6.3 Watts/kg for 37min.

Edit Vincenzo Nibali 37'20" - 6.09W/kg (2014)
