Excellent stage today. I just finished watching and it's nice to have some drama finally after Froome's domination. I was giong to post three days ago that I think Aru might have a shot but of course I didn't and now I don't look like the savant that I could have looked like . I'm no real fan of any particular cyclist so it's nice to have the top 4 riders within 35 seconds of each other and Aru really does look strong. Froome cracked pretty bad at the end and lost those 20 seconds but like RC said, it's crazy that Sky had two guys with Froome up until the end and Landa even beat Froome by a good 15 seconds. Contador looks old, but of course he's also a bit banged up. Nairo looks like he just rode a grand tour recently, which he did. Bardet is giving the French some false hope.
Mostly just hilly or flat stages until Wednesday when they have a HC climb to a downhill finish. Then Thursday is another mountain top finish. If Aru wants a chance, he's going to have to put more time into Froome given the 23km relatively flat time trial on stage 20.
