Yeah as far as I can tell they're both instigating and Rovny lashes out first, although Brambilla fights more so to speak

Now he gestured at Rovny, but I keep getting my Italien gestures mixed up so I don't know what he was saying. This is highly entertaining

edit: Rovny's out as well

The videos have disappeared again but didnt Rovny push him off the road at the end?

Sort of, Brambilla reaches over again and Rovny leans into it, which is what pushes Brambilla off the road. But it's a moot point now anyway, RIP both of these guys

Froome can get 2nd at best at this point. Theres no long flat time trial for him to dominate the other GC guys on and he lost way too much time to make up today. The only change now is Contadors leg exploding.

I love it when the GC teams are effectively forming sprint trains for their riders so they dont get caught out by anything on the climb.

Alright, I'll say it: I hope Sky aren't just putting in the work right now for Froome to try and get 2nd. I hope he has an insane go at Contador. I still don't want him to win, though.

Hes gonna do the same thing he did the other day and kick off the front once his team mates have burnt out on the climb. Contador will follow him again though. Interestingly today Sky have put 2 riders behind Froome to try and make sure Contador cant sit on his wheel this time though.

Looks like Froome agreed to hand the stage to Aru if he helped him get some seconds. They were working well right up to the final sprint.

Froome is solidifying second. Unless something bad happens to Bertie he's got this one I think. It would be cool to see SKY/Froome try something though considering how out of character it is.

That Aru sure is something guys!

Just shown a replay from above, not as bad as I first thought but it still looks like he's hit some roots with his back or something.
