Sergio Henao (Sky) will take possession of the yellow jersey. Alaphilippe is still making his way to the finish more than two minutes after Porte's victory.

Dan Martin..what a fight to finish in 3rd..got it on the line those bonus seconds[emoji123]

He ain't a floating butterfly up the gradients

But gets the job done

The guys must hate Contador. He just never stops taking shots.

He he

 

Yip it's not over till he is on the flight home..and that is why it is always entertaining when he is in a race.

 

 

PANTANO did a fantastic job for him today.. first getting rid of Alaphilippe and then weakening the rest..really great job.

Great stage today, Porte did well.

 

If only the stage was 1km longer...

Yah, one can never write 'Berto off, even I thought he was off the pace a bit yesterday,...so that just proved me wrong,.... tomorrow he is gonna be firing on all cylinders, third spot is not so interesting for him, his team worries me a bit though, they disappear out the back fairly quickly and one cant expect Pantano to do everything.

 

Porte had a bit of luck here though I think, there were bigger fish to fry for 'Berto, Henao and Martin, so no need to chase him for Yellow, I think they just let him go eventually. 

 

Also a great ride by Dan Martin, but in the final analysis I think it will be between Henao and 'Berto.

I agree that Bert didn't have to chase Porte down aggressively at all.

How great was Pantano today!

If Trek work together with the same cohesion as Sky during the GT's they would be great rival for Sky and Movistar. (With AC,Mollema and Pantano) although Berto likes to do things His own way and not follow a script.
