I will be pissed every day this Tour, because Kreuziger is really only luxury domestique to aging Contador. Maybe next year it will be different. 
You know how he is, the second he gets leadership he won't take the pressure and will get dropped early.
That is very likely.  I still hope he will mature in this, somehow, someday.

Because he was 2nd in GC and a podium candidate? |

Valverde should have attacked. They did not make Froome work at all. |

This stage is a bit of an anti-climax... it started of mindblowingly awesome, but ended up with me screaming profanities at the screen directed at Movistar only to sigh and nap on the couch.

Why is Gesink chasing? It's not like Mollema is gonna beat Valverde or Kwiatkowski in the sprint. |

And Martin would've gotten close to Mollema and Ten Dam in GC. |

Martin could be a threat to their GC positions in the long run and they don't want to give him that. Also a slim chance of beating Valverde is better than no chance.

Costa is faster and will lead out Valverde who is even faster. And Kwiatkowski is even faster than that

Yep. It still gives them a better chance for the stage win than Fuglsang and Martin being in front
