Chris Froome (Team Sky) pulled off an amazing feet today! To be down almost four minutes on stage 17, and to have attacked solo with 75 kilometers that included two catagorized climbs, all to come alone to the line is stunning. I truly hope it is a clean ride, it certainly was an exciting one! Froome is now the Maglia Rosa with a forty second lead over the perpetual second place Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb). With just one more day in the mountains, and as in the honor of stage racing, just one more day to fight out the general classification, it appears to be Froome's race. That will make him the first rider in decades to hold the winner's jersey in all three grand tours at once. Last season he took both the Tour de France and the Veulta d'Espania, and may well now have the next grand tour in succession, the Giro d'Italia. Or he could blow tomorrow like he did after taking the stage to the top of Monte Zoncolan.
