Looks like a day for any sprinters in the field. Saturdays stage should decide things......

Watched the stage today in glorious hd on Polish eurosport with english audio (carlton kirby ) selected. Fascinating finale with Contador yo yoing up the climb sometimes chatting with Quintana and eventually leaving him for dead on the descent.
Psychological blow struck by Contador.

It was a really interesting climb with neither Contador or Quintana committing to a big attack. Quintana looked really pissed when he arrived in Louchon.
Best bit was how both Contador and Quintana kept looking back at Latour as if to say "Is he still here". Latour is only 21. France is producing loads of great prospects all of a sudden.


Route du Sud leaving Lourdes.


Alex Dowsett


Dayer Quintana


Alberto Contador

Roche and Froome are training in the Pyrenees this week.

Just seen Eurosport are showing highlights later on/early in the morning, so please use spoiler tags on any current day stage info

These guys seem close....despite doubts expressed on here, there is zero reason to suspect Roche wont be going to the tour

Zero doubt Roche is going. He's the only Sky rider that can descend!

I'd say the conversation was riveting between the two of these......
