That was an excellent finish. Two races, the yellow jersey reduced “peloton” and the breaking apart breakaway.
Pinot and Bardet were together near the end. Then, like an angel, like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, somehow, some way – Cummings emerges and flies – seriously- flies through corners and manages to win the stage. So awesome as it was Nelson Mandela tribute day and Cummings rides for MTN Qhubeka.
For the GC, wow. Froome does a lot and in the end even sprints to the finish just to show Quintana who’s boss. Think he got a second. Q takes over 2nd from Tejay now 3rd. Valverde plays with Contador and then kicks past, leapfrogging C in the overall. Nibali did ok and is in the top 10.
Wow. Chris Froome says a spectator threw urine at him and shouted dopé. Good for you to speak up. And even if Lance Armstrong was pedalling along, don’t throw urine at him. And that fanatic (not fan) should be made to ride those climbs while we throw yellow sports beverage at him (her?), especially if they aren’t a top sporting performer. So there.
