Thanks! 4 points ain't much and Dumoulin, Roche, and Majka can still bring it back for you easily. They've been riding well even in these climber stages. I'm not sure how much Aru has left in him. He barely held on again today. Rodriguez is now looking like the man to beat.
Too many stages left though and only one more real climbing day (and baring any other bans and crashes) my climbers might not be able to hold off the pack. This would be a whole other race if Sagan, Froome, Nibali, Cancellara etc were still in the race.
EDIT: Ok two more perfect days for climbers - Stage 20 looks brutal too.
