An excellent passing move from Carlos Rodriguez on the descent saw the Spaniard win by 5 seconds from Pog/Ving, after he was dropped on the final climb. It still looks like Pog/Ving are so obsessed with each other that they both lose sight of winning the stage.
And it might be like that again tomorrow on the 179km stage from the ski resort of Les Gets LPDS to the ski resort of Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc with a mountain finish (thankfully not Mont Blanc). Again there are 5 categorised climbs with the penultimate one having a section at 17%.
Monday is the second rest day before the Time Trial from Passy to Combloux. Although it's only 22.4kms long it includes a Category 2 climb which has a 2kms stretch at over 10% near the end and continues uphill to the finish, so it's not tailor-made for the speed merchants.
I'm having my rest days on Monday and Tuesday, so I'm including this now.
