The two Scandies up front still have 2:45. They aren't going to catch them before the hell climb.
They might get caught. I can see some favorites already going all out on the next climb

I agree. Too many riders still there. Quintana perhaps?

Stake and Asgren are strong riders. Well done!

Adam Yates still with Carthy & Kennaugh at back. GB seem to be containing on the climb while while Adam just floats around the back. Interesting tactic, assume he's saving it all for hell?

I think a Colombian will go on the next climb, I also have the feeling Nibali will attack and ofc teams like France or Spain have so many options that sending one rider on the attack before the finale would be sensible.

Very big group for a this hard course, this deep in the race.
Agreed, which kind of suggests it hasn't been that hard. I guess that should suit the faster guys more than the pure climbers.

You'd think either Colombia or Italy would have wanted to make it tougher by now. Surely neither of them want Alaf or Bala to be fresh near the finish.
