Must be something like
1. Froome
2. Fuglsang +~15
3. Wiggins +~25
4. Nibali +~30
6. Kessiakoff +~40
or something like this.
Mollema with a decent ride today didn`t lose too much, Purito, Scarponi, Anton, Nieve, Seeldreyers lost quite a lot.
7. Monfort +~59
8. Mollema+~1.07
9. Cobo +~1.47

Wiggo will be a very good team mate for Froome
Nah, the plan will still be Wiggins. Froome won't be able to do all the climbs as well as Wiggins.
I wouldn't believe it to be otherwise.
Yet the situation is somewhat hilarious.

Purito lost only ~4min to Wiggo. That's as good for him as Luxembourg was to Big Mig.

What a ride by Froome. Impressive.
And another great performance by Kessiakoff!

Cobo and Zubeldia the first Spaniards in the end of this list won`t be, what they expected I guess. |

Fuglsang finally showing the big talent he got. Get away from those Schleck-brothers, Jakob! |

Hunter just tweeted that Sky have been stalling with Froome's contract renewal.
A massive error in hindsight, as now his WT points could be quite attractive to a few teams.

This is a crazy Vuelta. None of the top-3, before the start, I would imagine to be there.
But Froome must be in the form of his life.  |

I'm still mightily surprised he hasn't stopped yet in one of the stages to wait for Andy. He must be wondering right about know, where he is at.

But that is like an example (I mean it has happened with other riders and teams in the past), of what could happen with a rider deadly needing a new contract. Such a rider would do anything to shine.
Once again this is by no way specific to Froome. |

Bird Song lost 50 seconds on La Covitalla alreeady, he is not going to be a factor with so many mountains still to come. Top 10 at best. |

Spanish Cycling is dead.
But Fuglsang will lose another minute on Manzaneda, 1 minute on saturday and 2 minutes on angliru...
The only Scandinavian factor I see is Kessiakoff, he did well on the previous MTF and is also still good in the GC
Also glod Mollema is 'only' 47 sec behind Wiggins and 36 behind Nibali. I think Froome will falter eventually. If he wins that would be the biggest suprise ever. I mean what has Froome ever done on this level? |

Well, he's doing very well 10 stages into this race, so he's definitely got talent. What remains to be seen is if he can maintain it for the next 2 weeks. We've never really seen him perform at all, so who knows how far he will go |
