Froome hardly make all that time on Time Trial.

No, over barring an accident or a mechanical - a mechanical during the TT could be damaging.

Good analysis by David Millar on ITV4.

8 out of Skys 9 riders didn't make the cut. However going to be allowed race tomorrow.

60 riders didn't make the cut, cut them all & they've no race. f**k all to do with Sky.

I know just amazing to see that happen Sky. Movistar only had one outside.

Take Your Points

Quintana has stated that he needed 3 minutes lead to account for the advantage that Froome will have over him on the TT.  It will be some race on the final Saturday on  a very tough course all the way to the summit finish.

Astonishing stage today - again the Vuelta provides the best entertainment! Jus shows that short sharp stages are the best!!

Contador is by far the most entertaining. Always looking to attack and not afraid to do from distance as he showed in 2012 to beat Purito Rodriguez to La Vuelta. Was never going to shake Quintana but wish h3 had been able to hold on and take 2nd, efforts deserved it.

Monster TT from Froome, still Quintana's to lose but there should be plenty of fireworks on 2moro's stage.

super ride from froome taking over 2 mins out of quintana's lead, as you say it should make tomorrow more interesting. quintana still big favourite though.
