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

Well, chapeau to Froome. I can't talk poo poo about him given the loving balls he showed.

I can talk poo poo about the entire rest of the peloton for being a bunch of sissies.

You have to hand it to him, he corrected his main weakness and in a frankly hilarious fashion.

Someone tell me how to capture the eurosport player so I can get a clip of Quintana and Valverde yelling at each other.

It was a brilliant plan, they thought he was just going for mountain points and would sit up at the top

Actually I kind of like this newfound "gently caress you, I'll do all the things you say I can't do and win that way eat poo poo haters" Froome approach. What's happening to me :ohdear:

He was looking behind himself a lot for the first few corners and I think he was expecting to get caught really quickly, but when he wasn't he just tried to stick it.

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
Anyone else notice Quintana grabbing a water bottle at the top, presumably to gain weight for the descent? Ideally it'd be filled with lead.

Because, I dunno, maybe you might be legitimately thirsty after clearing a cat 1 climb? They're kind of a big deal.

And because he chucked it as soon as he saw Froomey didn't sit up.

Maybe the peloton collectively thought, "Froome attacking the descent? He's going to overcook a corner or crash for sure. Let's just take it easy guys."

Well, you can't loving let him get away anywhere now.

I mean, he's only got 23 seconds and its not nearly as demoralizing as him just dominating an early mountain stage like in the last two tours he won. In those cases it was just clear he was in a class beyond the others... while that may still be the case here this stage didn't prove that by any means.

As much as I hate those fans, I think the punch in the face was a little overboard and very unSagan.
