And he needed just two attacks to shake off all the chasers on the final categorised climb of the day. He now has a comfortable lead of 2:11 over Dumoulin, heading to the crucial time trial on Tuesday. Chris Froome (Team Sky) failed to follow up on his stunning Monte Zoncolan win on Saturday and dropped to seventh place overall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s enough,\u201d Yates said of his advantage. &#8220;I wish I did know because I\u2019d be a bit calmer. I\u2019ve been trying to take time since the race started, and I\u2019ve been very successful on many days, but my advantage can be wiped out in one day, in one TT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?
