I think this is as tough as any paved climb in Switzerland. Grades in the Alps aren't as steep as the Pyrenees or Dolomites, in general

Yeah 14k at 10% is pretty solid actually. There's several climbs of >2k at >12% near me but the really big climbs here

Biggest miss of the tour now is seeing Quintana gain a minute and not being able to see what Nibali could have done from a better GC position

Feel like Thomas could have ridden away a lot earlier if he needed to, never looked even vaguely in difficulty.

How is Quintana the same age as me? gently caress.

Looked like Tommy D put in about 40sec on Froome so he should be in 2nd by about 29sec. G put on a few seconds plus the bonus for getting 3rd.

Agree. He knows playing it safe and following D's wheel is the ticket to win the Tour and it looks like it just played off. Had legs to grab 6 seconds in the last turn too.

Lol I’d think Froome being dropped would make the Tour watchable again but nope there is another doped up Skybuterol rider to take his place. Sad.

And I bet Froome’s wife is melting down and calling Geraint’s wife the c word on twitter tonight

Well, I enjoyed watching froome get dropped even though it doesn't really matter in the long run since only death is certain. Roglic looked good, always rated the guy. I don't know whether I want Sagan to stay in the race - would be kind of funny if kristoff or whoever wins the points classification by default
