Richie Porte (Sky) showed that he is back at his best level when he set up Chris Froome for the stage win before passing Nairo Quintana to take second in stage 10 of the Tour de France.

After crossing the line Porte looked to put the performance into perspective with 11 stages still remaining in the race.

"It’s one day in the Tour. We can’t get too carried away," he told Eurosport. "We’ve seen in 2013 the first and second on the stage and then the disaster there. So we’re not getting too far in front of ourselves, but it’s still a fantastic feeling.

"I sort of felt a little bit bad picking [Quintana’s] pocket but it’s a race. Chris was absolutely fantastic today. I take my hat off to Geraint Thomas as well. He was still on GC and he could have sat behind me. He didn’t, he put in and did a great pull softening them up."
