Interesting comments from Julich

"There were times in the mountains I wasn't there for Ivan, and there were times I had to hold back for Ivan."

Well, well, well. That's an interesting comment, for sure.

Basso appears to be

on a massive ride here. If he wins this thing here, there will be many who look back at this Tour and seriously wonder about Bjarne Riis' tactics and about why Basso didn't race like he was trying to win, instead of just protecting a 2nd.
