Tour de France Stage 19 - High Pyrennes - SPOILERS

Today's stage could be interesting with climbs over Col d'Aspin, Col du Tourmalet and Col d'Aubisque. 20 km downhill to the finish after the last climb.

Froome will make a break .1km in and solo 200.4km to take the lead.

Should Sky use Froome as a rabbit to draw TomDom out?

Sagan really suffering. Team mates getting ahead in the early breakaways so they can drop back and pace him up the mountains later.

Sagan 20 minutes back... the calculation to cover the time limit always confuses me, any danger?

Hoping Roglic makes it exciting today by attacking Froome and going for 3rd place.

This looks like real racing. No radios are going to help here

Froome is isolated. That foggy decent is something else. Martin lost it on that counter attack but he's been known to never give up and he's got a Sky domestiqu to help. 5k of climing to go.

Nice work by Sky... Wow.

Bernal is something else. If Froome makes podium, he owes that kid big time.

Those boos when Froome was going over the 2nd to last summit were deafening.
