Sky don't look even a little bit worried. Geraint's group has almost climbed back to the leaders.

Valverde to get ahead on the Alp D'Huez, then wait for Quintana to pace him on a break?

Valverde to give it everything and try and grab enough time to give him an excuse to try and pinch second off Quintana more like!

Nairo and Valverde together about 20 seconds off the front#

edit: scratch that, Porte's narrowed the gap a bit.

Nibali goes, Froome follows, Porte goes back.

Breaking frome genteel, sky to regroup on the flat, but think they'll go again on alpes and will hope to break them early, froome looking pretty handy on the descent

Hopefully Richie can get back before Bourg. Can't see Quintana putting minutes into Froome on the Alpe anyway.

All back together now and Sky regrouped at the front.

Bloody hell, Chris Froome must've blown his mystic conch shell while the ads were on. Team Sky Assemble!

I think we are going to see a repeat on ADH. Valverde jumping off the front and then Quintana. Chris Froome will then go it alone, piss on Valverde as he passes him, spit on Quintana as he passes him next and then beat his chest whilst popping a wheelie as he crosses the line and winning the stage and TdF 😆

Shame I was hoping it would be just the big hitters left at the base of ADH sans teams.

Lemonysam is right, forgot about Nibbles. 34km to go!

Well Nibbles just did Froome a favour and bridged him back to Quintana and Valderde.

Geniez... could he possibly do it? Guess it depends on how much the flat bit before the Alpe takes out of him.

I told my lad a while ago that the fastest way down the mountain for Froome was to follow Nibali... 8)

Wout Poels, Porte,Froome. 10km to go.
Valverde goes, no reaction from Sky. Leader is 2.17 ahead , gap coming down fast.

I'm sure I saw a solar flair when nibbles got his puncture, must have knocked out line of sight and radios

Yep 3 in the sky group will do it... Would be nice to see them reeled in but no point is blowing up.

Oh and a naked man at Dutch corner

This could be close - 30 seconds and growing. Great tactics by Movistar. But running out of road

Minute gap between Q'a and Froome...3km to go! He still has Porte, lots of booing.
Froome needs to get up and go NOW!
