Great stage, disappointed on many of the favourites though, someone like Sammy should be up there. Sky has a really strong team though, still think Wiggo will crack in some of the biggest mountains, might win anyway with all the TT. |

He should have done it halfway through the stage, Ã la Armstrong.

Yeah i guess age has caught up with him, cuz that finish would be tailor made for the younger Sammy
Nibali will be stronger then Wiggins in the big mountains i think, wont be enough though, too much TT. |

Froome should be leader.
I really hope he didn't dope, because I like him the best on Team Sky, but I seriously have my doubts about Team Sky....
What was Garmin doing? Working hard, just to drop Martin?
I really hope more than those 4 can compete in the mountains, or it will be a boring tour.

That was fun 
Really sucks for Van den Broeck - he looked strong. But everyone else just got Froome'd.
Impressed by Taaramae aswell

Not really. Wiggins was very comfortable on a climb that should not suit him. Froome prefers those climbs, and Wiggins showed how comfortable he was at the end. Wiggins stayed easily on Evans wheel when he expected to win time on Wiggins.
Froome would be leader at any other team except Sky or BMC though

Froome was just amazing.

having 4 battle is better than 2 a la contador vs schleck, contador vs rasumssen, contador vs schleck again etc.
I will say it now with 100% confidence, there is no doping at Team Sky!!
I there is i would probably lose all faith in cycling and sport...

Boring. Horrible.
The Sky train is horrible for cycling. Sorry Alakagom. It takes all the excitement out of it. Your not even surprised when a climber gets shed. It makes it the most boring thing ever. No tactical attacks. Just ride everyone away with your assembly line. I was disappointed by crashes. I'm disappointed by this. Worst Tour in recent years. And I doubt it will get better, judging by Dauphine. Not sure I'll watch it again.
Good win for Froome, sticking it to his teammate.
