Astana really need to look at their team. Aru had nobody with him at the end.

I am hoping Nibali can do a job for him tomorrow.

Mimosa97 · Jul 9, 2016

Froom ruining the TDF for me once again.

Ugh.

Joelstinton14 · Jul 9, 2016

/unhides from behind my pillow. That was a phenomenal descent.

I think that may be the best ride of his career. I know people are skeptical of Team Sky, but hard to cry foul when you go downhill

I don't blame him. The mountain fans are utterly obnoxious.

True Savior · Jul 9, 2016

That was beautiful. A few years ago he was too cautious and opponents thought they would be able to take a few seconds every time they would go down. Today he had like, 20 meters ahead of Quintana and he just went and took the seconds from them. Crazy technique.

jakonovski · Jul 9, 2016

Quite the descent from Froome. What I don't like is the complete inability of everyone else to respond. It's like all the riders were paralysed, waiting for mother base to give permission to chase.

teepo · Jul 9, 2016

that was absolutely ridiculous. much respect to team sky and froome, brilliant.

i need to watch the replay because i don't think quintana even managed to take a sip of his water

Froome going for the most aggressive rider prize.

Can do better. A cyclocross guy once tried to kick a spectator.

And there is of course the all time move of COntador and his hatred of selfie sticks.

_Clash_ · Jul 10, 2016

Your move Quintana.

Froome now has the luxury of being completely reactive.

bjaelke · Jul 10, 2016

He just made his move by having Valverde attack with Contador. Lots of action on the first climb.

dEvAnGeL · Jul 10, 2016

Today's quintana day, come on!

Ruruja · Jul 10, 2016

There's too much sport on today, I'm gonna have so many browser windows open later.

First MTF, should be interesting to see if Froome took too much out of himself yesterday.

His Majesty · Jul 10, 2016

Too bad Sky is too strong to allow this kind of shenanigans to happen.

bobnowhere · Jul 10, 2016

Contador about to abandon?

bjaelke · Jul 10, 2016

Yup. Just called it.

i_am_ben · Jul 10, 2016

cya Contador

Incognito · Jul 10, 2016

Fuck

Guess he'll just have to win the Vuelta.

And I'm still fuming about Nairo/Movistar yesterday peeling off at the top of the descent yesterday. What a bunch of damn dopes. Don't think it'll make a huge difference but still. Come on.

Ruruja · Jul 10, 2016

Think it's finally time to accept my tactic of choosing the big 3 GC guys on velogames has failed.

Come on man. Froome is the best of the world. Not easy to counter that. He was pedaling like a madman in a decent

Ruruja · Jul 10, 2016

Movistar with few members left at the front of the peloton.

NO ONE expected Froome to do that. You could see Nairo grab a bottle, then look back and have an "OH FUCK" moment.

captscience · Jul 10, 2016

Just missed a chunk of the race. Is Valverde still in the break? If so, I'm surprised to see a 9 minute gap.

No he was kindly asked to leave the front group so Sky would end the chase.

jakonovski · Jul 10, 2016

A commentator said it well; Team Sky has effectively bought themselves an entire team of captains, and in doing so also made the remaining competition less.

And they can use this secret technique.

Ruruja · Jul 10, 2016

Don't think I've seen Quintana ride without sunglasses on. Looks a little more tired than usual, though that might just be because I can see his eyes.

Haha, I always thought Froome vs Quintana looked like that guy vs the main character in Yowamushi Pedal.

TarpitCarnivore · Jul 10, 2016

Looks like it might rain....

bjaelke · Jul 10, 2016

I'm going to go all Froome next week and punch a spectator.

Nice to see it's not just UK this happens in the summer.

Big guys are starting to attack.

bobnowhere · Jul 10, 2016

Froome vs. Qunitana!

Ritchie back.

jakonovski · Jul 10, 2016

A hailstorm!

Ruruja · Jul 10, 2016

Whoa this looks epic.

AndyD · Jul 10, 2016

This hail is crazy.

Ruruja · Jul 10, 2016

Did I just see a naked woman? In this weather?

TarpitCarnivore · Jul 10, 2016

Froome is probably thinking "Oh Richie boy, just like in years past"

bobnowhere · Jul 10, 2016

Porte leaving TJ in the dust/hail.

Yates back as well.

Ruruja · Jul 10, 2016

Really impressed with Yates.

TarpitCarnivore · Jul 10, 2016

I really wonder what it's going to take to break Froome in the mountains. The only thing I can think of is a team is going to have to just go for it and blow up the sky train. They seem to always get out front and slow things down.

yagal · Jul 10, 2016

Quintana can you please do something

TarpitCarnivore · Jul 10, 2016

So happy for Dumolin
