Loving the surprises who thought Tom Dumoulin could climb that well superb ride nice to see him get his 1st TDF stage win.
Yates up to 2nd on GC and Dan Martin into 3rd both rode out of their skins to stay with the favourites with Adam keen to get to the front of the Yellow jersey group crossing the line
Good ole Frome shutting down the attacks to retain the Yellow seems like this is going to be the modus operandi from now on
So when is Niro going to do some thing ? He's going to have to put in a big attack if he wants to win this which I think will be hard to do looking at the quality of the climbers it won't be hard for Frome to grab a wheel and hold it if he does.
Much needed rest day tomorrow which maybe has come a bit to late for Contador as he bow's out today can't be nice trying to sleep and ride with that much skin missing. He wasn't the only one to go as we also lost Mark Renshaw after he fell ill overnight. Cedric Pineau and Mattieu Ladagnous also abandoned as the race became to much.
Hope they have better weather for stage10

Re:
Yeah, Quintana seemed to show he has no balls, unless he is good at looking totally composed while inside he's at the limit. He got caught out last year leaving it all to the last climb and didn't manage to topple Froome, hope for his sake its not the same outcome this tour.
Brits in 3 of the jerseys, and 5 stages so far, can it get better
Yates will improve with time and with a better mountains team. Just wish he rode more up front - he's gonna get caught with his pants down

Sagan or should I say Team Sagan tried his best today but was pipped at the post by Micheal Mathews for the stage win but he now has the green jersey from the shoulders of Cav.
Not sure he was going to win that one with Orica bike exchange having 3 in the breakaway he would of used up a lot of energy shutting down all the attacks. Still can't take it away from Mathews and OBE used the numbers to their advantage and gave Mathews his first TDF stage win.
