I love mountain finishes!

 

Froome is going to have a more difficult time of it this year in the Tour.

 

Nibali is looking a bit vulnerable at the moment, but he may peak at the end of June - can't count him out yet.

 

Especially those that have no MTN adverts (Eurosport)!!!!

Nibali's off par 2014 continues. Mysteriously off the pace all year. 50 seconds on day 1 is a big loss at this level.

 

Needless to say, unless something miraculous happens in the next 7 days he ain't going be on my TDF fantasy league team.

Kelderman, what a talent he is!

 

Wilco is on fire! Up there all the time at the Giro (and being my dark horse in the tipping comp!) and now keeping pace at the Criterium. Is he missing the TdF and riding the Vuelta?

I suspect a few riders are playing chess at the moment.. Froome may peak a little too early in my opinion.. his physique looking top drawer at the moment.. Im not sure whether those reserves will be enough to take him through the 3 weeks in July at peak condition at this rate. Contador looking very cool, calm and relaxed. Not picking sides just yet.. but don't think Le Tour will be a hand me down in 2014

Yeah. Last few km was rivetting.

AC looking good....Froome tried, but could'nt drop him.

By the same token, Contador just couldn't pass Froome, they are very evenly matched. The next few days will be very interesting.

One thing to consider is that the end wasn't very steep.

Wait till we se them on the steep stuff and I Recon Conto will tap his way past with the efforts today.

Froome also looked a little worse for wear but then he did pull for a fair bit.
