Colombians are MAD because Niki Terpstra and Yves Lampaert made a little joke on words 

 

 

(Bom = bomb in Dutch)

 

Not exactly a brilliant joke, but holy Moses, the Colombians (including Restrepo and Betancur) are acting like the most humourless creatures to have ever walked the earth to even get angry about this 

 

Like anyone would give a flying fuck if someone says "haha not BMC but Bomb-MC" or "haha not LottoNL-Jumbo but LottoNL-Bombo"

Ag2r cheating their way up the mountains and nobody does anything against it

Oh wait, Ag2r have withdrawn Nico Denz and Alexandre Geniez now, how pathetic, like they didn't know they did this two days ago

7km to go, meaning the Alto de Los Machucos has started....that's a seriously crazy climb. Arguably of the hardest climbs ever in any grand tour.

So looks like Froome is leading by just enough margin, as usual...

I mean, it would be more interesting if they are attempting to do something ridiculous, as in leading by 10 minutes.

No way he can do that  

 

I do think he'll keep the lead, but wouldn't be entirely surprised if he 'breaks' on the monstrous Angliru tomorrow, like he did on the final climb yesterday (or the day before?).

Let's go, one final show of force on the Angliru please 

[heywoodu 16,010]

The wind is a little strong, resulting in this. Trauma helicopter on it's way..
