Or they do not want Moreno & Nieve to gain time either?

probably yes. as moreno + purito is dangerous.

like I said earlier, I'm sure most teams do not like nnieve and moreno up ahead.

Cant see Nibali winning the sprint. Probably want to help stop the break get too much time.

Nibali is defenitely not winning. They probably fear Moreno taking too much time. They'll want to keep it at less than 2 minutes I think. For the stage, I'd say Capecchi has a good chance if (when) the break stays ahead, so nice racing by Liqui today.

Yeah, Nieve has won a hard stage in the vuelta last year and that mammoth climbing stage in Italy this year.

Sky have two riders hiding at the back of the pack, Lovkvist and someone else.

So why is radioshack working?

moreno, seeldrayers, roche, cas and nieve can all threaten Braj's top 10 hopes.


anyway they aint making great ground. i think break wins.

moreno could move up a few places and threaten mollemas combo jersey.

Albasini has a pretty decent kick and I haven't seen him doing much work in the last kilometres.

They've reached the flat bit now. Watch the gap come down.

If they've any sense, the GC men who don't have a sprint kick will drill it on the front of the break. But yes, the gap should shrink.
