That was a class ride. It makes SDBs decision easier  ::-)

I wonder how things would have panned out if Froome hadn't had that silly little crash on day 1.

Is sagan rolling again?

J

*** and/or Super D said yes, about five minutes after his off. We BRITONS had to suffer a shitvert break in the middle, though, so it was probably announced sooner.

Edit: He's finished, albeit 26'29" down.

Win win for Sky.

Froome is so toxic he cannot stand on the podium in Paris.

Yep, still 16 seconds ahead of Roglic on GC according to the official results. He may well lose it in the TT though.

Still another heavy-duty mountain stage to come, though, and a downhill finish to boot.

Will Froome now ride for GT? Is he even capable of doing so?


As an aside, I assume that Segan has to complete to be awarded the sprint prize or has he now done enough to win even if he has to abandon.

Right the first time.

To be awarded the snottypoints prize and snottyjumper in Paris requires actually getting there.

Yes, he has to finish. But he is uncatchable in the points classification now, so finishing is all he has to do.
