Pozzovivo and Roche for 5th/6th is about the only very close GC gap.

Zinoviev Letter said:I don't think it was intended as a defensive move (although if he turned out not to have great legs it would have functioned as one as a fallback). it was an attempt to gain back much of the time he lost yesterday. He presumably had the legs to climb with the leading five if he hadn't attacked, given that they barely took 40 seconds on him on the climb after his distance attack.

Lots of looking around, long stage and hard day yesterday.
jens_attacks said:boring....seemed like papy wants to save energies for a big attack. probably pena cabarga, sierra road, hazallanas like climb, he loves that kind. nibali seems in control but a strong horner can beat him i think
seemed like they were going slowly but they actually went as fast as chicken and alberto in 2007 and the group of favourites in 2012...
