Yeah, yeah we've seen that Froome can keep a high tempo. Whatever happened to doing things like throwing in multiple attacks to test your ability to react? Did they forget that or something despite it working on guys like Evans? |

Porte is cooked. I haven't seen anything like this since Vinokourov 2007. Being super one day and then being totally useless another day.
I wonder how that turnout to be.  |

Valverde yelling at Plaza to go slower. I want to cry

This is boring once again, just that Movistar replaced Froomes helpers.

Contador doesn't attack because he is bad, Quintana because he can't descent, Valverde because he thinks you can only attack with 2 km to go Rodriguez style. What is the rest of the peloton waiting for?
Ya, Contador hasn´t gotten his beef yet 
But i dont get the commentators, how is this good cycling? Froome is still there, seemliy untouched and after this climb there is no more. |

So Quintana won't be allowed to attack, then? |

I guess he wants the stage and is happy with second...

It seems like Movistar are content with dragging Valverde to the finish line so he can get the stage win. Horrible tactics. |

Why did he drop? I don't know...
Brailsford probably withheld his blood bag for today to make the team look more legit 
He cracked at the start. |

Ya spot on  Froome doesn't need his own team, he got Moviestar to do his dirty work.' |

Froome is so lucky I want to throw up... he should give multiple BJs to Movistar when the stage is over.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

Rogers and Kwiatkowski have returned. The pace is too slow. |

This stage was like every Stephen King novel.
Amazing premise and first half, second half that does nothing except piss everyone off

So this stage has gone from great to completely stupid in an hour. Valverde is riding for second so may not be attacking because of that. Also he may want to force this to a sprint from this group, as Piti would probably win it.

Rogers back. Movistar seems done, the speed is way to slow right now. This is boring.
EDIT: I rest my case... go Quintana!
