    Sky have 8 riders at the front of the main peloton with Boswell in the break. The stage hasn't been too hard so far.

    With Sky pushing it, it might be the day they sacrifice all their riders to the mountain gods in aid of Froome which would not be good for Roche.

    looks to me they are riding tempo rather than pushing it right now and Knees has been at the head for the last 6km so its not like they are using too many guys either

    Knees hasn't left the front all climb. Defo just tempo being ridden by Sky and peloton is still pretty big it would seem the favourites will hit the last climb pretty fresh

    Landa in the break...seems to be all about support for aru and no hope of GC for himself

    He's 36 mins or so down already so he has no personal GC hopes

    Edit: 26 mins

    This has actually been a fairly dreary stage so far...

    Everybody is taking it very easy so far. The peloton is still pretty big.
    It's been boring.

    Is Froome in a bit of bother there?

    edit. Yep.... is it from the crash or is he paying for the Tour effort?

    Yes, we've had ourselves over excited again, for nothing. Nothing I heard in the background drew me away from my SQL.

    Roche dropping back also. I wonder if someone will attack now.

    If it looks like he'll lose massive time, I think he'll drop out of the race.

    Guess Froome wasn't messing when he said he wasn't in the form for this. That's surely the end of that for him, 45km to go
