If the time gap is accurate Kruijswijk is having the ride of his life.

He should be careful now, though, since there are no snow banks to cushion any falls

They maybe underestimating Kruijswijk a bit. When on form he's a great climber. He dominated that Giro and would have won by minutes had he not crashed.

E - lol at castroviejo still being in this group.

Yeah I agree, he was extremely unlucky to lose that Giro. However he will have to fight Castroviejo and Kwiatkowski in the valleys so that gap will come down.

Alright, I'm timing both Kruijswijk's and the GC group's ascent times, though I fear it won't be necessary for Kruijswijk

Question because I'm dumb - do some teams focus more on green than yellow? I don't ever really watch the Tour but I'm just curious if, for instance, Bora Bora cares more about Sagan getting green than winning yellow.

They definitely do, mostly because their only GC rider will never really trouble the top 5.

They do, yeah. Most teams don't really go for green and yellow anymore, so any team that goes for green won't care for GC one bit. Last exception was Tinkoff in uhh, whenever they had both Contador and Sagan

Froome doesn't look too happy you know. He keeps letting a gap go to Thomas now and then.
