Basso is out of the Tinkoff team due to a diagnosis of testicular cancer.

Hope he gets well soon.

Yes, hopefully he has an early diagnosis - not what you'd be expecting to end your race

Think Froome is looking locked on. He's riding great, the team's solid, and the front end of the race can be pretty nip and tuck in the mountains - the old days of riders smashing the peleton to bits, blood and guts strewn all over the road, don't happen very often.

Oh, and some legs for @RAFUH

Man....how did I miss this tag

Thanks Bruce!

 

[RAFUH]

Daily leg picture for @RAFUH , this time of Peter Sagan being, erm, Peter Sagan.

Didn't get this tag either!

Have some imaginary rep

What do they do on a rest day do you think?

Well it looks like they don't get changed, the bad steggs....

Tomorrow looks like a day for the breakaway for sure, there will be a big fight to get in the break.

Nibali and Uran have gone pop. Surprised by that. Movistar setting a fierce pace up front but Sky and Tinkof have plenty of men still.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Purito gone too. Sky pushing on at the front now.

 

[Moomin]

Nibali and Uran have gone pop. Surprised by that. Movistar setting a fierce pace up front but Sky and Tinkof have plenty of men still.

Set up for a good finish this.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Looks like Movistar have shed all of their men. Just Valverde left with Quintana now.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Nibali struggling to keep up with his team. Think that's him out of contention this year, he's going to lose big time.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Valverde with a dig.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Geraint Thomas riding so well here.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Nibali lost 90 seconds already. Oof.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Contador out the back!
