I don't see why Sky should be worried about the gap. It shouldn't get much bigger of course, but 6:30 is completely managable with the tough climb still to come. Moreno or Pardilla taking 4 or 5 minutes today (and I would bet it will be less in the end) is meaningless to them.

gesink is the favourite now or not?
gesink and pardilla , tejay if he feels good

Fernandez, Frank, Bennet, ... a lot of good climbers, but if Gesink has his Covadonga legs he's the favorite.

I don't understand Orica's tactics. Why are they working so hard? None of their riders in the break could win the stage, and if they want to set something up for Chaves it would be better if they aren't too tired and the gap isn't too big.

Remember stage 12 when Kirby said it was a Movistar win, and everyone laughed? Maybe he knew something we don't. :D
Orica Stage Exchange?
