If Purito wants to win he has to worry about doing much more than bonus seconds… he is after all 95 seconds back, and all the bonuses of the remaining stages put together will not do…

This becomes interesting.
This becomes interesting. Valverde and Rodriguez need to take the bonus seconds, which Contador isn’t great at. He will be happy to let Aru or someone else to get them. Froome, we have no idea but he is capable of doing a great stage but his absolute form is in question. Could be a day for a breakaway today with the mountains points on offer.

[Joelsim]

Hope so. As always I took him
