But the Tour heads back to the mountains this weekend with two tough stages in the Jura. Then there’s Bardet, a Frenchman who has now won mountain stages in three consecutive Tours. Team Sky’s Chris Froome survived the first of two days in the Jura mountains to hold onto the yellow jersey as the leader of the 2017 Tour de France. As an added twist, Quintana might be joined at Movistar by Mikel Landa, who this year finished fourth despite riding in support of Froome at Team Sky. Aru was gapped coming over the top of the Galibier, a gap which grew on the long descent to the stage finish. But Froome held tough in the Alps, and added to his advantage in the Tour’s final individual time trial. Contacted by Reuters, AG2R La Mondiale said: “We have seen this interview and the answers of Jan Bakelants, who certainly wanted to be humorous, but in the present case it was very bad taste.

But the Tour heads to the Pyrenees on Thursday and Friday, giving Froome’s challengers another chance to try and take the yellow jersey from him. Movistar’s Nairo Quintana also struggled. Porte looked to be riding himself into the top-3 at the time, but misjudged a corner on the technical downhill. Froome should also expect a more serious challenge from Movistar’s Nairo Quintana (a three-time podium finisher at the Tour), who suffered through the worst Tour de France of his career after a second-place finish in May’s Tour of Italy. He now leads Astana’s Fabio Aru by 18 seconds and AG2R La Mondiale’s Romain Bardet (last year’s runner-up) by 51. Stage 9 is even harder with seven categorized climbs including three Hors Categorie or “Beyond Category” summits.

The gap between Froome and his closest rivals remains the same: Astana’s Fabio Aru is in second place at 18 seconds, and AG2R La Mondiale’s Romain Bardet is in third at 23 seconds. Thomas stormed the rainy 14km individual time trial 5 seconds faster than pre-race favorite Stefan Küng of BMC, and seven seconds faster than his teammate, Vassil Kiryienka. The stage was won by LottoNL-Jumbo’s Primoz Roglic, a former world-class ski jumper who’s starting to put together quite an impressive resume as a pro cyclist. Thomas, Chris Froome, and the rest of the team are clearly in top form. Barring a crash or a poorly-timed mechanical, Froome should extend his lead in Marseille on Saturday before riding triumphantly into Paris on Sunday. And of course, Froome can’t be ruled-out. Tomorrow’s uphill finish in Longwy doesn’t suit the big German, though, so his chances of earning more bonus seconds and possibly the yellow jersey are slim.
