Agreed, iggie, maybe not major attacks, but the GC leaders cannot afford to allow the escape group to maintain a meaningful lead up the mountain due to the 2 long run-downs.

Right... and I do like seeing (or actually reading about) TMo leading the peleton setting the pace. Wear 'em out for tomorrow!

You can see the escape group breaking up w/ more than half the climb to go. I'd say 14km/7.3 avg is at the low end of HC, but there is a stretch that is 11% on that hill. Some science, some art, I suppose...
