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. 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.

Hope so. As always I took him out the other day for his win. Back in again now, no doubt for a 21st place today.

Wonder if Navarro can put in another decent ride tomorrow after going full gas today.

Reynes my only non scorer again 35

I will get that full house badge..... 102

Still more green arrows again today up another 37 places to 176th 13

This has to be my most conservative Grand Tour to date, only 5 pens I think 39

yup 17th today, 14th on GC, but far enough behind that he could go for the stage, really fancy him tomorrow, don't know why, but like I said that hunch could cost me the race

Joel, I have Valverde where you have Froome and Aru, the same other big 4 you have, big mistake by me then?

Oh I do also have Barguil, as I needed the risk.....

Big risk for tomorrow, 10 pens, if it doesn't come off my chance of a top 3 is probably over, if it comes off, Im back in with a chance.

Basically I have Valverde, Contador and J-Rod, but no Aru or Froome....

Navarro in the break too, so possibly the peloton will want to keep it at bay as he is only 4:26 down on GC.
