Uran wins the sprint I thonk. Martin and Quintana lose 1:10 to Froome and Aru. Contador loses three mins.
Martin 6th overall 1:44 behind on GC. Unlucky today but also very lucky not to be badly hurt.
Have a look at Martins helmet. Got shattered. Very lucky man.
Porte has a broken shoulder, pelvis, concussion and a few scrapes. Could have been a lot worse.
GC was effectively decided today. It’s a race for the minor placings now.
I hate froome. Never seems to suffer. His def on something special. As for team sky. Well we all know they are dodge. Eventually they will be exposed. An autobiography from an ex team mate the usual shit.

I think you’re being harsh on froome. Brailsford is repulsive, sbw is a cheat in my opinion with the triamcinolone, but froome actually is very formulaic, and gets tireder and tireder as the grand tours move on. He is always vulnerable towards the end. You can tell in his interviews that he is fucked towards the end. He looks like death. I just think he has a good poker face, and is a tough fucker.
One things for sure, all the epo in the world can’t make you descend like they did yesterday. On a wet road. I could barely watch.
Very hard to watch. Great drama but heart in mouth stuff, especially in the wet/damp
It is. I actually had my eyes half shut just waiting for it. Even the motorbike cameraman was both a loon and amazingly skilled.
He’s not actually driving the bike as well. He’s a pillion passenger

Informative rating.
He has two hands in fairness
He is on something man. Can’t be battling every day and not have a bad day.Found the energy to empty himself yesterday after surviving a lot of attacks and having to hold a yellow Jersey. He had no problem attacking when Dan Martin was down. His only a gowl, and complained when aru attacked for his mechanical. He comes into tours out of form and walks them handy.

It’s whetever his team is on as well. They control the pace and make it almost impossible to attack him, the Gollum faced cunt.

They’re all gollum faced.
Dan Martin looks like a goonie
Aru has taken the yellow jersey apparently.
Took 20 seconds out of Froome in the last 500 metres of the stage.
Bardet won it. There was about 10 of them all together and the sprint blew them apart. Martin was top 10 somewhere, sixth or seventh I think.
6th confirmed.
Aru confirmed to lead by 6 seconds.

A 20% gradient at the end today. Martin up to 5th overall
Some gradient at the end - seriously killed all of them at the end with Froome losing a lot of time and not able to do anything about it.
Dan Martin going well.
Is there much left in it? Could he be in with a shout at the end?
