Will Arredondo attack from miles away and then fade?.... Will Purito leave everyone else eating his dust?... Will Valverde stick something in Froome's spokes?... So many questions! All to be answered today!

434 on the stage and moved up from 29th to 23rd. Crazy stuff.
Ever get the feeling that there's some funny shit going on?

hmmmm that is rather odd!
Rather multiple team-like. Perhaps.
I think I noticed this exact same thing during last year's Tour de France.
And just like that my lead has basically vanished

Bouhanni last man home
2,4,7,15,18 + mas
2,5,7,11,18,19 plus Mas standard and 2,5,8,18 + Mas and Matthews purist.
Hopefully some green arrows today.
The questions were answered:
Absolutely! And what a delight!
Go Conta go! 
.
No. Not even close. Don't believe the hype...
.
Well, they could have done better..
.
Nope! It was more like a 'Bang!'
.
Was he even in the race?...
.
It seemed that way for 15 seconds...
.
Not today. All he did today was ram a 'Movistar' jersey down his throat...
1st, 2nd, 10th and 11th plus Mas hoovering up mountain points like a good 'un. Biggest disappointment for me was Zubeldia. Ho hum.
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.
2,4,5,7 for me plus Mas.
First decent day for me for a while. In fact since the start!!!!!
Martin nowhere.
Quality finish......best for ages!
Valverde was all over them today - classy climbing.
4,5,18,20!
Big hitter today! Defo worth saving up 10 transfers for! lol
wat a finish!
After the disappointment of the big tour battle not happening!
Got an even bigger battle at the Vuelta!
Didn't disappoint!
Fantasy team was rubbish! But who cares!
Great showing by Froome!
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.
What, is Sagan still actually in the race?
8:45 gap now
3 minute gap for the 2 up front now.
The 6 have been pulled back
Lluis MÁS BONET (57) and Pim LIGTHART (148) still enjoy a 1'10 lead
