Stage 19 highlights:

So, the final day in the mountains:

At 02' 38'' behind it's over to Quintana to make the moves.

Should be a cracker....Froome looked on the edge of a complete breakdown yesterday. His team have buried themselves for the last 2.5 weeks to get him to where he is and look like they have nothing left to give.

If Quintana makes an early move on the Alpe D'Huez, it could be very very close on time. Froome should have enough in hand but you never know.

How did I not know it was Eurosport :/ Ive been watching the whole tour on ITV which I hate!

Really? I much prefer ITV's coverage. Sure Phil and Paul can be annoying but they're no worse than Carlton Kirby and the segments with Jensie, Millar, Boardman and Boulting's interviews make the whole thing.

Movistar turning the screw... :eek:

Froome by himself again and coming back.

neil_g · 25 Jul 2015 at 14:08

froome and quintana show

Cosimo · 25 Jul 2015 at 14:13

Froome, Nibali, Quintana and Valverde are back together.

neil_g · 25 Jul 2015 at 14:16

sky all together again

Cosimo · 25 Jul 2015 at 14:59

Quintana starts the attack and pulled back.

Cosimo · 25 Jul 2015 at 15:01

... and again!

Cosimo · 25 Jul 2015 at 15:10

It works this time!

SDK^ · 25 Jul 2015 at 15:21

It's great to see Quintana attacking with all he's got but he's not going to gap Froome by 2mins+

touch · 25 Jul 2015 at 15:22

This is going to be close! :eek:

I think froome will hold on though.

hendrix · 25 Jul 2015 at 15:23

Kept down to 30 seconds between Froome and Quintana, last few km have to be explosive by both!

Cosimo · 25 Jul 2015 at 15:24

Quintana going for it now and Froome steady.

touch · 25 Jul 2015 at 15:25

Still a long way to go, too!

Cosimo · 25 Jul 2015 at 15:34

Porte has done a great job.

Get in!!!

Well done Chris Froome.

Makes you wonder what was up with Quintana on that first day in the Pyrenees when Froome was so devastating.

Quintana is an awesome climber, makes my ride this morning seem all rather pathetic!!
