So, Porte, who was 2nd place yesterday, get dropped in this climb by Movistar rider's who are average climbers? Makes sence. 
He had a mechanical, while Kennaugh fell into a ditch. It would be weird if he was dropped 
No, he was dropped.

Are you sure? If he had a mechanical he should have been able to made it back sooner or later. He just seems to have a bad day

So ca n someone tell me If i'm correct here
The spanish teams put men on the front right away, Kennaugh fell hard, Porte was simply dropped, and everyone is riding at an insane pace with 75 Km to go?

They're not riding at an insane pace. But they were with 120kms to go

Neither I am.
But yesterday all Movistar riders bar the leading 3 dropped quickly.
This time, we seeMoivstar destroying the peleton with almost all of their riders.
This is just related to Avin's statement ( which is true in many cases ) what doping can do, great on other shit on next. Although going by that, Froome isn't on drugs, obviously

Amazing Tour-stage on one channel, F1 from Germany on another, Wimbledon on a third and football on a fourth!
Gah!

I was reacting to the inital post 
Bit they aren't really destroying the peloton (Birghardt is still there), it's mainly Sky failing. Where on earth is Sioutsou?

Chava was in the Porte group now hes in the Froome group.
It's not Movistar riders being insane. It's Porte being absolutely shit

Maybe some teams were shocked bythe sky-dominance yesterday so they took their blood a day early? (I am leaning into the everyone is doping camp) No matter what, this stage is way more fun than yesterdays :-p
