Didn't get a chance to watch today. Was doing my own race, the 103 mile Etape Eryri through Snowdonia. Astonished the two favs both lost, how was such a strong and dangerous group allowed away, were they just marking each other?

Worth watching the highlights. But briefly.. SKY put men up the road in several groups and several top 10 went with them as Saxo refused to work, Froome bridged taking the remaining favourites with him. Contador refused to work with SKY in the second group and held back with SKY/Froome while the rest of the favourites rode ahead taking a minute or so. Contador then attacked the Froome group and did a solo TT Tirreno style for the last 20k while Froome popped.
Talansky was amazing footage at the end and will bring joy to any cycling fan. |

Really fantastic last stage of a mini tour that has delivered nearly every day and been one of the best mini tours of recent years even if it ended in a bookies benefit. from the cyclist enthusiasts stand point it has been gripping.
Has this opened up the TDF? there might not be so much between the top dozen riders as the betting would suggest. maybe there is real value outside of Froome/Contador And now the Tour De Suisse, it gets more thrilling every day |

Kelderman 4th by just 8secs...
Think the Giro kms found him out in the end. Great stage, great racing. SP |

How much of the Froome failure was due to his fall on Friday, or where there other problems? That's probably the crucial question for the TdF
