Is there any chance someone (like a real 'contender' at this point) tries to go nuts on the descent?

e: not like it's going to matter as the Sky train is going to put another 3 minutes on everyone on tomorrow's final climb

I don't remember people abandoning like this last year during the mountains. Might just be my memory though.

Nibali up with Froome and Porte. We'll see where they sit after the descent.

Lets look at *poo poo french rider* for another few minutes before switching to *another poo poo french rider*. Then have 10 seconds of the guy at the front, and maybe, if you're lucky, 10 seconds of the chasing group.

Apparently all 3 of their transponders have broken, so you'd think they could get a camera bike up there. Havent seen them since Majka went off the front.
