Such an impressive ride by Quintana, Movistar will be strong in the Team TT and I think Quintana will have a big 3rd week
But Froome will be minutes ahead at that point as he will dominate the Pyrenees
He doesn't have to win the whole race to have a big 3rd week, anyway he is what 1:56 to Froome, 126 to Contador and only 20ish seconds of Nibali. I think Movistar will gain time on Saxo on the TTT and be very close to sky and Astana. If he is many minutes back on Froome by the 3rd week then so will everybody else. I think he podiums and gets a stage

Great win from Tony and very deserved yellow jersey, although i was looking forward to sprint.
Valverde is a bit of a selfish basterd,isnt he?
On the contrast, great work from Sagan for his GC leader,closing that dangerous gap and spending the energy there. But i the end still nice 3rd and valuable points.
Froome looks so horrible on the cobbles, but he did a great job, i cant see him loosing this Tour now if he should not get into some problems like fall or bad mechanical.

I was thinking same..at the time when Quintana was in second group. Piti did ok..there was a lot of time to change strategy..at the end he was like big brother for him. Good job.
