It's a shame we didn't got to see proper showdowns between Froome/Contador and Cav/Kittel, but I guess it makes it more open. Whilst I'd like Nibali to win, I hope Porte, Valverde et al really start attacking and make it more exciting!

As there are 4 French riders in the top 8 of the General Classification they will all definitely be fighting for a podium place. It should be exciting as not only will be there be the battle for the yellow jersey but also battles for 2nd & 3rd places. Froome & Contador dropping out mean that they guys that might have finished 4th or 5th get a chance to finish 3rd and I'm hoping they seize the opportunity. Which should mean some exciting viewing for us.
