here we go..another day. Rolland again at the front after polka-dot..he need to be here..and also need to hope that breakaway guy will win. Other wise Froome collecting to much points at final climb again
I think it's enough for him if he wins the 1st cat, the 2nd cat and all 3rd cats. Easier said than done though.
Winning all the climbs except for Semnoz would give him 21 points, putting him 20 ahead of Froome.
I strongly doubt that's going to be enough. Semnoz gives 50 points to the winner, 40 to 2nd, 32 to 3rd, etc. With Froome very likely to finish top 5, Rolland's chances are small.

Movistar wants a stage win that's for sure
It's up to Froome..if king is generous he Quintana has a chanche. I do not think that Froome will make any feeding mistakes.
And there is ofcorse Purito..hard man to drop

Poor Rolland. Hope for him Froome doesn't finish top 5. Though if Quintana wins he'll win the dots so that's good for me, too
Anton trolling him at the 2nd climb makes it even harder.
Assuming that he wins the all remaining climbs except for Semnoz, Froome can't do better than 7th, while Quintana and Nieve must be 5th or lower. In other words, Rolland is screwed.
Glad to see Movistar taking absolute control over this stage, which it what they should have done on the Alpe-stage (or they should at least have caught the break9.
Seems like we will have a battle between Froome, Rodriguez and Quintana on the final climb. Maybe even Valverde as well

Hope Quintana gets his stage win. And Rodriguez deserves a podium after his brilliant last week.
