Froome is expected to beat Quintana in the time trial on Friday, but he faces a three and half minute deficit, to be able to take over the lead, so this great rider from Columbia looks good to pull off a win.
British rising star Yates riding for Oreca Bike Exchange was also a victim of this strategic move, being in the same group as Froome along with the always smiling and handsome Chavis.
So an otherwise boring event will be interesting for the next week.
