The fight for pink? That was already over before today, apart from freak stuff like taking a crap right before a big climb or diving head-first into a wall of snow. 

 

Ok, so don't trust Eurosport commentators who were telling all the time that Yates NEEDS 3 minutes for time trial...

No  

 

Dumoulin in the shape of his life, Yates in 'normal' shape, a longer time trial and a course set for absolute specialists....maybe 3 minutes would have been possible, today I was expecting Yates to lose no more than 1 minute seeing as the course didn't seem to be made for big differences, Yates is in alien shape and Dumoulin is not in last year's mutant shape.

I mean, of course Yates can still have a bad day and with a tough stage and back-to-back-to-back mountain finishes it's still possible for things to get shaken up, but so far Yates is the only one who has shown not a single sign of weakness, especially on the mountains....so for the pink to change, Yates needs a crappy day

Bad race for Nibali and Quintana...

Too bad Juraj isn't there to complete the set of not-so-amazing-brothers-of-amazing-cyclists

Some tunnels soooooo goodbye images of the exciting first part of this stage. And welcome back 19th century

LottoNL-Jumbo closed the gap with the leaders, nice work for a decent 6th place for Van Poppel

 

Also a shitload of rain coming down at the finish, that's gonna be fun (to watch, not to ride)

LottoNL and Bora bringing the win to Viviani, good job guys
