Well played by Froome there. Makes 6 seconds on the others. 6 second gap would be hard to overturn by race officials, I think it will stand.https://community.betfair.com/cycling/go/thread/view/147733/30575147/vuelta-a-espaa---stage-5-wednesday-26th-august?post_id=545984777#545984777Narrow roads and a tight corner with 600m to go meant a possibility of time gaps.

Small gap on the drag finish.
