honestly, the stage was exciting, but sometimes the finish dulls it. i'm tired of this "don't attack yellow bla bla bla". it's a damn race. part of the race is having your shit together. i didn't see froome etc wait for dan martin after the crash. they all knew about it (uran, bardet, was behind porte), plus there is no way you didn't hear that crash.
then watching fulsang and aru pulling for froome. it's like. wtf are you guys doing. watch the last 10-14k. froome's longest pull was 20-25 seconds. all his other pulls were sooooo short compared to everyone else. he played aru and fulsang haaaard.
i'm happy to see nairo drop in the standings. he has no value add in stage races. he just waits and waits and waits. not to mention he's cooked from the giro.
hats off to froome. he marked porte, martin, and aru.
Swings and roundabouts, Froome had pulled everyone to the top of the last mountain.
