    Who is Sky's second man if Froome is down?

    Can Brailsford justify leaving Wiggins at home now?

    Should have brought Wiggins. My sympathies go out to Froome, they really do. Not sky though, they managed this poorly.

    +1

    Sure even if Porte got hurt he was shagged for when he needed the
    real help later on in the high stuff.

    Wiggo's pissing himself laughing somewhere having a beer.
    But still sick that he isnt there to carry on etc.

    Well I guess that makes this stage even more important for Nibali now, he's now second favourite and he's got to be more comfortable on cobble than Contador.

    I think that's a joke from earlier when him and Carlton were just discussing what's ahead in the stage and were messing about with the pronunciation.

    Oh how I'd love to see the grin on Wiggo's face right now!

    Why would he be grinning? He hasn't put in the effort to get on the team. Would he really want all his teammates to fail?

    Loads and loads of splits already. I have loads of sympathy for Froome but I wish ES would focus on the race for now!

    The consensus is that he's approaching his best form and was Froomes closest rival. EDITED
