Porte seemingly loves Froome, so much so that he had to stick to his wheel the whole climb until 250 to go where he was meant to stay on Froome's wheel and sprint past him :/ |

It'll be exciting to see Bardet and Aru next to Froome and Porte at Mont du Chat. I hope Romain is motivated now by Aru's performance and who know what magic he'll do in the descent down of Mont du Chat. Aru is a pretty average descender, so any time gain will likely be lost in the descent me thinks. But I'm happy to be proven wrong.
About Contador, maybe the heat wasn't ideal for him today, hoping he can gain form and strike back. He continues to be a diesel climber and accelerations hurt him quite a lot. So who knows, what'll come. Today was okay, could've been worse, could've been better.

Honestly how many attacks like this have we seen that didn't come from Froome? Aru is the top favourite for la Maillot Jaune don't @ me

Guys new TDF drinking game. Every time Phil Ligget says "Richie Froome" has done something, take a drink.

Aru looks strong, maybe he can fight versus Porte about second place  |

Exactly, at that point he was meant to sit in Froome's wheel with the sprint incoming. Anyway, he should have attacked properly even earlier than Aru, but just followed Froome, not a great or bad ride nonetheless. |

Maybe, but just maybe, Porte wasn't strong enough to do either of what you said, but I understand it must be tough to see for someone that wants 85 in all stats for him

If Porte can drop Froome on a climb and stage such as this I can't imagine him ever dropping him let alone win the Tour. Disappointed by him today honestly
But FABUUUUU made me believe in this Tour.  |

we have no to forget that everyone (maybe Porte less) need at least 1' before last ITT, in particular Aru or Bardet

I think they got dropped by everyone but NBC. (They used to be ITV and SBS as well) so they are only heard in the US now. (Which would be a lot less people on here than in the past).
Also, I would like to be able to function for the rest of the day considering the stages run from 5-10 or 11 am here, so I will not take part in such games.
