Those roads along the coast are ideal for a strong break. Too bad there are no live pictures.

Pantano (Colombia) and Wauters (Vacansoleil-DCM) are two of the seven escapees who already enjoy an advantage of three minutes.

Be interesting to see who, if anyone, helps with the chase because I doubt Sky will want to bring it back... Let's see who the other five in the break are first.

Yep, need to give this one plenty of rope as I'm guessing a strong pace will be needed on final climb(/false flat...) to stop anyone getting frisky.

I don't find watching wannabe GC riders get dropped boring.

Obviously true cycling fans find 95% of cycling very dull.

Well vino's gone after all.

Anyway Wanting nobody to get frisky isn't something many cycling fans want.

But if sky's your team you support for i get it.

Nibali has to try whenever he sees an opportunity. If he waits for the MTFs, Sky will be expecting that. With the long TT he has no choice unless he wants to aim for a podium position instead of trying to win. With time bonuses and hilly stages being less easy to control than mountain stages, it's worth a try. Anything to reduce the losses which are sure to happen in the TT.

Actually i think he was just predicting what might happen. Clearly that's what sky will do. Boring, but it's simple common sense. Why would they race any other way?

vini fantini will try hard to get the pink jersey before the itt. taborre is a first, nice shot.

and light rain some minutes ago, according to weather.com, in marina di ascea. hope to see astana working late in the stage, and sky "pushing" in the right rythm for the escapees to suceed. nibali must be looking for todays bonification, but this stage is not so easy to control.
