Keeping It Close G18-59
I'm not quite sure what the pink pig costumes were about, but they did get this herd on screen. As the peloton went under the flame rouge in ones and twos the tifosi went nuts. This duo, fifth and sixth on the road, were Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb) and Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ). They had started the day second and third on GC, but after the day, Pinot slipped to fourth. With Chris Froome's (Sky) ride, he now has the Brit just behind him. Fortunately for the Frenchman, there is still two and a half minutes between them.
