Alpe d’Huez produced a spectacular denouement to a Tour de France that had been lacking much of a fight over the yellow jersey. Nairo Quintana (Movistar) delivered a gutsy performance to take a chunk of time out of Chris Froome‘s lead, though not enough to seize the maillot jaune ahead of tomorrow’s procession to Paris. Out front, Thibaut Pinot (FDJ) took a magnificent stage win.
