I see a couple of yellow helmets in the back there that money was wasted on. Maybe one can get them cheep cheep now.

I also think he went too early. With 14 km to go. If he waited until there were only 5 left , it would have gone different for him. Well maybe. By the way, for everybody speculating, froome was 2 min slower than LA an Pantani

 

They had a tailwind and froome had a headwind.

 

makes a difference.

I'm still struggling to forgive Belkin for attacking on Valverde's puncture on Friday. To me it's the equivalent of attacking in the feed zone, or attacking when a rider drops a chain(ring a bell?). Belkin weren't on the front, Velverde punctures, and suddenly they wanna help Omega. Did Sky, Saxo or BMC attck? No? Omega had every right to keep driving like maniacs on the front to drop Griepel and Kittel. If Valverde couldn't make it back in that case - Then it's tough luck mate!

I am not sure that it makes a difference to your argument but Valverde broke a wheel in a collision with another rider - not a flat tyre. Maybe the ethics are the same - so just saying...

Today: brutal, fierce, captivating, amazing and awesome. True tour.

Looking at the highlights, it is clear that the crosswind attacks from 2 days ago came back to haunt Teams Saxo-Tinkoff and Belkin. I don't think Froome will go hard in the TT coming up, but probably do just enough to better the times of his rivals to save his energy for the other mountain stages.
