Rujano wasted some energy earlier on the climb for no reason
Stupid, stupid, stupid. Everyone else sat on and let the domestiques set a reasonable pace. Of course Rujano got the idea pretty quickly, but must've been spent in the end. Unless he got that corner wrong at 1500 to go.

Roche is right - looks like sheet when you can't see the sponsors name. Exciting finish - would have made for some great print content/newspaper cover

Nieve was 9th, not bad at all considering his injuries this year and that the climb doesn't suit him. Better watch out for him in the 3rd week, even if he has lost quite a bit already.

Maybe he woke up and realized that this is the moment to step out of the shadow his ( presumably more talented ) brother has cast over his achievements recently. Imagine Frank wins the Giro and Andy predictably fails in the Tour - we might be talking about "Brother of Frank" rather than "Brother of Andy".

Nice stage!

Fränk's been compiling a decent palmarès away from Andy for a while now, but I still remain unconvinced about him as a Grand Tour winner.

Good stage, afterall. Quite pleased with the GC battle, apart from Rujano. A shame. But Ryder was good enough and now in pink.

Good to see the likes of Intxausti and Henao up there.

And haha, even Pauwels does well now.

No surprise that joining Pharma boosted his performance...

But wasn't he working on the front for Cataldo during the climb? If so, that makes his 14th place even more impressive.

He wasn't going to win.

Yeah. I noticed that about 5 seconds after writing that also but didn't bother editing my post; misread the situation at the time. ;)
