seems like the peloton is smashed to pieces. too bad we won't see anything

that stage won by chubby santa in il giro was magical though. can he take the win today too?

Imagine if they ended with a descent finish in this weather

Pleasantly surprised that Pinot is still with the peloton while the likes of Basso and Moreno got dropped on the descent.

"Jose Herrada (5), Vasil Kiryienka (194), Vladimir Gusev (123), Imanol Erviti (3) and Luca Paolini (128) are the five riders who have a small lead over the peloton."

So two Katusha and Movistar riders up ahead.

Those 5 have been caught. Looks like the English ticker is updated 10 minutes after the Spanish one
