Mollema looks likely to fall behind Quintana. 1min 33sec GC gap: Quintana had 1:10 of that at third checkpoint.

VAAA VAA FROOOME.......

Get in ...

even took time out of that MAD Dog Downhiller Contador.

That had me on edge of seat..Chris not sitting back , he really is making this butt clenchingly exciting viewing.

One slip and it was gone.. and Contador finding new blood as the race goes on ...( oops sorry shouldnt say new blood and Contador in same sentance)

Courageous ride Froome dawg.

Bradley who ..?

When will people give Froome credit for having the coolest head and the finest judgement in the race?

Lekker, Jonge !

Quintana not the TT we thought, but i think he has more steep hill endurance speed , than just sheer speed on any hill

Contador is a dnger going downhill and I would not like to be near the MAD desperado on Heuz..

Why do i get the impression that Chris Boardman is NOT a Froome fan.

Froome strikes me as a cool calculating but genuine competitor.

Everyone talked about the aero TT bike change ..no one mentioned that he had a higher gear for descent .
all pundits missed that advantage.
