'Tour de France is never over until you cross the line in Paris'

Although Chris Froome has held yellow on this Tour since early last week, I fully expected him to face a bigger challenge to hold onto his overall lead when the race hit the mountains again this week.
While it's made things a hell of a lot easier for the team to control things in this last week, the fact that last year's runner-up Nairo Quintana hasn't looked anywhere near his old self and that most of the other pre-race favourites have fallen by the wayside a little has made the race less exciting for everybody watching.
