Gap + bonus considered we're nearly to a minute differential... wow.

1m2s apparently, another minute and with the time bonus he'll be insanely close

Quintana lost the tour by the time he lost on the run in to Zelande.

To be fair to Froome, he was pretty tolerant of all the poo poo that's been (literally sometimes) thrown at him. If that had happened to Wiggins I could have seen him getting off the bike and punching people!

Bring on the Vuelta!

Nibali was no threat to Froome and the stage win was off the table considering his condition they'd not have reacted to him.

Also I hope Pinot spends the next year improving his descents, because he's such a good climber it's a shame he always loses the advantage he gains on the climbs, coming down the other side.

This is the sort of thing people say when they forget his performance on Stage 10. Where he gapped Quintana by 1:04 coming into the line.

They were mostly talking about how Neeltje Jans had such an influence on everyone attacking (and besting) Froome in the last week. It reminded me of 1999 when Armstrong was #1 and Zülle in second place eventually lost the tour because he was behind a fall in one of the first stages.

I'd love to get Lemond slightly drunk and just get him talking about Lance and Froome and everything off camera.

A fantastic story teller IRL. He stopped by the office last year. Don't get why he isn't better on TV.

Paddyb posted:

"I'd like Ryder Hesjedal to win on the Alpe d'Huez today" is a thought I actually just had.

I know. Crazy world. Bummed Garmin couldn't pull anything out of the tour.

Great to see Movistar attempt bicycle racing with tactics though.

Wish he'd done more of that.

I don't begrudge him yellow, but Nibali went for stage wins all last year. I'd rather watch ridiculous crushing attacks than his team just marking everyone.

Nibali went for stage wins because his closest competition was fuckin Bardet and Pinot.

And someone else caught on camera spitting on Froome.

He's already been named and shamed online.

The reaction the one time he did that probably discouraged them once they had a solid lead. Sky should probably have pushed harder in the Pyrenees where they were clearly stronger though.

Oh all of a sudden Froome is upset about foreign substances on/in his body? More people should spit on him. Especially if he's got the freaking polka dot jersey ffs, what a lovely joke.
