Wowoweewaaah.
5. Nibali: cooked
Stick a fork in him, he’s done. Fish and chips.
4: Contador: cooked
He’s more legs of mutton than legs of a Tour winner. Eaten for dinner (slow-roasted with Italian seasoning).
3. Tejay: cooked.
First really hard day and he’s already been steamed up. Maybe they’re not legs, they’re hot dogs.
2. Nairo: prepare the tablecloth
He’s not done yet, but the waiters are getting the table ready.
1. Froome: answers critics by doing thing that encourages critics.
Sky train right on schedule.

Pretty succinct but not more to say. Battle for yellow over. Now it is only who gets the scraps on the podium.
Yeah. All that beautiful build-up and Froome’s stomped up and kicked over everyone’s blocks.
