Some fun racing to watch. Beats a boring mountain train any day. Still a super close race.

Christ Yates attacked at least 10 times what a rIder to root for
Yes, and some people compare him to Purito just bc of his great kick in the final k. So much more than this.

Yeah and unlike some riders he is looking good to tackle the final week in great shape. Contador did say he was his natural successor. |

I would love to see Kruiswijk win tho.. unlikely but that Giro crash was hearthbreaking for me to watch and I feared that he wouldn't have those legs again, but what a ride!!

In the third week I think Kruiswijk is the rider to beat. I expect Valverde to crack on one big mtn stage and interesting to see if Yates will repeat his epic crack at the Giro, if he doesn't then should be good enough to win.
Quintana will probably look for one epic attack and try and roll back the years to do a Froome and try and win like so but I can't see him getting enough time. Lopez for me is overrated and usually too selfish to work with other riders to win. Mas I expect to keep his position and finish just outside the podium.
