Brilliant stuff. What we'd have seen in the tour if froome and contador had stayed on their bloody bikes. So excited I only just realised how badly my fantasy team did. Bye bye niemiec, what a duff pick that was. Too hot I spose, should've followed the crowd and gone for chaves but I know nothing about him really. Shame barguil wasn't 2 credits cheaper!

Fantastic finish! 5 of the best stage racers shoulder to shoulder in the last 500 metres before a summit finish. If only Nibali was there too.

Break looks like it will be caught. Orica working so obviously believe in Matthews. He could hold onto the jersey with 13 second lead. It's only about 3.75k!

Got
Martin
Quintana
Kelderman

Plus
Matthews
Martens
Mas

Others won't figure. Wouldn't be surprised if Matthews does ok today although Montecassino was a touch easier but longer. Keeping him for tomorrow which suits him more as I don't want to take pens yet. Martens could make top 20 today, maybe, more for tomorrow as well. Keeping back a couple of cheap sprinters for 8 as well and need to get rid of Wyss soon.

The 6 have been pulled back
