Vuelta Stage 17 - Denifl Dominates; Froome Fades

It was a tough day out today, so whoever Stefan Denifl is, he did pretty well to win.

Froomey don't like it steep, it seems. While Denifl was away winning the stage, The Froome was grinding up the final climb staring at his stem while many of his rivals were riding away from him. He still has plenty of seconds in the bank for now though.

The Chanbots put in another strong performance for the Stage points.

Stage 18 has some hills, but I don't think they are long or steep enough to make much impact on the GC.
