Astana working the whole day for nothing

Astana were in a great position at one stage.  When Cherel and Bardet attacked, Diego Rosa was coasting on their wheel but for some unfathomable reason he chose to drop back to the Aru group.  On the climb Rosa cut Bardet's lead in half but had he been in front they had a much better chance of winning the stage

true, but at least they tried something and it made the stage entertaining.

Who chases the break on stage 20?
I can't see Astana working all day again. BMC or Orica who have riders just off the podium may chase or Katusha or Etixx could chase for the stage win maybe?  Hard stage for breakaway riders to stay away with all the climbing but there's not a lot of incentive for the peleton to chase that hard.

The only reasons someone chases is to get the bonus seconds into play. After yesterday I doubt if Porte will fancy it and Orica don't have the team to do it. We are left with Astana and Movistar, the latter seems fundamentally unwilling to do any work so Astana seems the only hope.

Sky have Henao up the road which maybe interesting later in the stage if that break doesn't go that far out.

Astana working on the front, more to do with Kreuziger than a plan imo.

All that work by Astana and Aru off the back at the first sign of any pace.. Tactics!

Izagirre is a master descender in the wet as evidenced by his prologue win at Romandie and tt win in Tour de Suisse.

good ride from Purito, surprised Katusha didn't try and set him up for the stage win.

What a woeful second half of the tour.  Flat stages were so much better than the stages with gc implications.

Unlucky for Porte who would of finished 2nd on the podium in Paris if it were not for his puncture on stage 2.

Van Garderen really should of stopped and given Porte his bike.

Too easy for Froome.  US Postal are just too strong of a team.

I think they should issue a new jersey at the end of each stage - the pink girl's blouse. Plenty of contenders over the last couple of weeks.

Great for Greipel to salvage something at the end. What on earth the rest of the sprinters were up to is anyones guess.

Why did they neutralise the times on the last stage? Rodriguez fall? Preliminary results had him in 10th and then he got shunted back up to 7th.
