Geraint Thomas is once again on the front of the yellow jersey group. Chris Froome behind him. A multitude of riders desperate to take time off Froome are immediately behind them.
Don't go anywhere.

Richie Porte cracks but Geraint Thomas tries to drive Sky along and he soon closes the gap on Nairo Quintana. This is gripping, fascinating, compelling bike racing.
Sky on the defensive.

Here it is - Nairo Quintana attacks.

Alejandro Valverde is up with Vincenzo Nibali - but there is no panic immediately behind them.
Richie Porte, then Geraint Thomas then Chris Froome. You would not exactly call Froome isolated.
Up the road, Rodriguez has 4km to go.

Up the road, Joaquim Rodriguez is out on his own and gritting his teeth. If he can hold it together, glory will be his.
Now Valverdepublished at 15:44
Nibali is a little way up the road. Now Movistar's Alejandro Valverde is attacking.
It is as though all the teams are working together to try to break Sky and Froome.

Former GB cyclist on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra"No panic by the yellow jersey with Contador's move. Contador took about 20 lengths out of the group but Richie Porte and Geraint Thomas stood their ground and rode back up to Contador. Nibali's gone and it's as if they are trying to get panic into Froome - but there is no panic yet."

When will Nairo Quintana make his move?
Nibali, of course, is seven minutes behind Froome on the GC.
And now Nibalipublished at 15:41
Team Sky not panicking at all, steady rhythm all the way.
Hmm, Alberto Contador is caught and then Vincenzo Nibali has a dash.
