If I didn't know, for last km's I would have thought Froome is the leader of Movistar.

Yeah, cause he's well known for his descending skills 
Pretty sure that's his point
Picked up on that moments afterwards. Easy to be confused with so many Schleck fans around.

Hmm, its actually quite clever of Sky
After yesterday and people even some who were usally pro-sky startet to think "hmmm this cant be clean"
Today let the riders drop and let froome sit infront alone with a "favoritfield" he knows cant do shit, and now everyone is
"Ahh Sky isent doped they are paying now"
Have to take of my hat to the brilliant strategy Sky is doing |

Actually, That's more evidence that they ARE doping

QTF
We need to get some attacks, I got Froome on my fantasy team, I find that as a good tactic, I can cheer on the others, but when they ride like idiots I still get a good amount of points.
Please, please Quintana/Kreuziger attack! (Anyone know where Pinot is? After his decending yesterday I just wonder where he ends up today)

I don't think they care about people think they are doped - defiently not that much that they will let their riders drop behind on a stage like this. |

How's Froome in the descent? Say Movistar gets 30 seconds in him at the top, would he make it back?
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

How lame is it that a guy like Valverde is already riding for second place... |

I doubt anyone will be able to drop Froome on the climb, he will rather crush others by minute again.

Can anyone tell me more about Evan's shoes? I thought he wore JetRacers. Never seen the ones he's using now.

They dont care what you, me and every other Joe Cycling says, thats true.
But you can be 100% sure they care what people like ASO and cycling doping world think, what people in the more serious media circle think.
Froome has still questionable watts, has still the 3rd best time on the climb yesterday, something noone even a Beef strong Contador could do. |

Bardet reminds me of Rolland. They have the same stature and hopefully Bardet can develop as well as Rolland. Probarbly the most promising French right now.
Great to see them both in the front. |

Sky doesn't care anymore than US Postal cared. As long as they aren't caught they couldn't care less. They'll just keep towing the party line while saying that no one on the team ever got caught. |

Bardet seems to be incredibly good on tough days. New Voigt with better climbing?

Much better climbing. Great rider and only 22 years. |
