The Lanterne Rouge contest is more exciting at this point.
I am begrudgingly coming around to your way of thinking.
Froome is really lights out, with or without his team around him. He even put on a kick at the end of todays stage as if to tell Quintana, "it's hopeless for you mate".
Still, some interesting racing to come though...
