Froome had his team blow the race up in the early part, then attack from 80 km out.

This is nuts.

Contador did it with sky a couple of years ago, now pozzovivo realized why they needed to pull a few stages ago. This shouldnt have happen if they had killed froome 3 or 4 stages ago.

Awesome race tho.

Make sure Yates doesn’t have access to the Jack Daniels tonight.

Yeah totally agree, I'd love to see anyone but Froome win, man he makes me sick to my stomach, but it sure looks like he will and also pull off the Giro Tour double.

So is TD going to claw some of this back on the final climb? Seems like no one else in his group wants to help.

I think TD gonna have to TT alone going up because pinot and company are slowing him down. If this thing is 5 seconds at the end of the day TD still can win this and w/o staying that tired as Froomey and team will be.

The white jersey kids aren't helping either. (Nor should they really be expected to).

I'd think Pinot wants to put as much time as possible into Pozzovivo

Only Dumoulin and Reichenbach do the work. Lopez Moreno and Carapaz are saving their strenght to attack on the final climb to fight for the white jersey and Pinot knows that and is now also saving his strenght because Lopez Moreno is a threat for his podium in the GC

And Froome...yeah, might be the last day I've ever watched a race. If he pulls this off I'll have lost that last bit of faith in cycling.
