Saxo and movistar might do they yea ol tom and jerry on froom, but I think porte will have fresh legs then...

 

I hope that they can break Porte on the first section of the climb,

Will then be damn interesting to see how Froome protects his lead especially if the teams work together like you say.

 

Yep, its going to be riveting stuff...hopefully.

 

So far no one has come up with a formula to beat Sky or Froome however stage 9 (also coincidently on a Sunday) has shown how it could be achieved...by attacking Sky early in the stage and not leaving it until the last climb.

 

Teamwork between the various teams (Spanish speaking ones plus a one or 2 others like Garmin) might well be required.

 

I'm nervous in anticipation, can you imagine how Froome and Sky must be feeling?

 

I think Froome will be vulnerable and wont be able to just work his way back if Conto and Quintana can make a quick gap.

Just hope Valverde doesn't miss the chance.

Will surely make the last bit of the tour a lot more exciting.

If they attack him on ventoux they won't stand a chance....they will have to make moves before that and then drive the nail home on ventoux....

What happened to Kittel ....a crash ?

 

Split peloton in the crosswinds.

And OPQS applying pressure by charging the main bunch forward.

Hmmm shitty is a bit harsh, he looks uncomfortable imo....but hell its pretty effective

 

Yes shitty is bit harsh! He looks stocky, uncomfortable and it looks like an "uneconomical" riding style. It sure works for him though
