Good start but a long long way to go,

love the move to keep Porte riding and maintain second place. If Froome has trouble/falls then there's someone else in the team to take over. It is however awfully early to take over yellow; another week of defending the jersey before the Alps. Sky obviously think that they have the team once again to do that, but it takes a toll.
