Just got home. What happened?
Saxo Bank tried getting Hernandez and Rogers into the break over Col du Manse. Sky had none of it and Froome ended up closing the gaps on his own in the end. Only Saxo Bank was chased heavily, Movistar is apparently not a problem in the eyes of Sky.
Thanks.
Riis is trying his usual move and Sky is aware of it. They want to have someone in the break so that Contador can attack over the top of the alpe/Sarenne, be pulled by the teammates who drop from the break and gain time.
It's what Riis always does. Last year's Vuelta is the only time it actually worked.

Any guesses what Froome said to Rogers?
"Attack all you want. I'll chase you all down."

Seriously Porte doesn't that chain dangling round your neck really annoy you after 5 hours? |

Porte just was talking about panicing with Froome. Maybe Froome is a bit nervous?

So the Eurosport UK commentators just claimed that Froome went with Sastre in 2008.
