Sky had the Tour de France's 16th stage to Bagnères-de-Luchon under control, according to Chris Froome. He said that he and race leader, Bradley Wiggins were comfortable despite Vincenzo Nibali's attackers.

"Worried? Not really, to be honest," Froome said. "Yeah, it was hard at the end of a long day, it hurts, but Brad and I both know they [Nibali's attacks] weren't really going anywhere. We were quite within ourselves there at the end."
