That was kinda underwhelming.

Good to see Basso in form, but with a bazillion uphill finishes it did not look like the favs were giving it everything.

But then again he also dropped his chain for a while on Montasio, but got it on immediately after.

Where'd you hear he dropped his chain?

Yup, thank God for Antón otherwise they'd probably have followed Busche's coattails to the final kilometre.

Pinot decent, but still not at 2012 Tour level.

spent his whole time away from the main group checking behind, seems to me he just wanted to grapple a few seconds.

Lol at those knocking moreno. He got maximum time gain for minimum effort. Smart riding

Agreed. Great ride by him.

And lol to you for being predictable and trying to stir.

Yes, airstream's trolling is so tiresome

Seems like Nibali dropped his chain with 1 km to go. Not confirmed yet though. #lavuelta

Thanks, hopefully it is true, as that means his form might be better then today's results say.

Very dull today, then a very good last 5km.

Nice to see that Anton is alive. And good to see Pinot at the sharp end too. Net App looking great for a wildcard team.

Roche never held a jersey in a GT before as far as I know, but now I think he'll have held all of them at one point or another in this Vuelta.

Anyway even if Nibali is still working on his form, currently he is still ahead of all top contenders and is the better time trialist so he is fine.
