It's honestly time for Conti to drop himself, this ain't working.

Is Conti being a *** here in racing etiquette or is it just part of the game?

Stunning scenery.

Just WOW

Don't think Conti is doing anything wrong. It's not like he's a threat for the overall GC; his main aim is probably stage hunting, he just hasn't been given the opportunity to lose enough time yet It's not like, for example, when Valverde got in the break on the way to Andorra last year.

Decision time for Cannondale. Chase for Woods or not?

Definitely thins it too late now.

Look! A thing made of sticks!

I really hope the break doesn't lose this. If someone attacks from the peloton this gap could be gone very fast.

Kirby had an anecdote, of course.

I really don't get Canondale.

Every non sprinting stage will go to the break, it seems.

It's not a new trend.
A lot of mountain stages go to the break too nowadays.

Perhaps showing his cards too early though.

The Italians taking turns on the attack. Bye Muhlberger...

Gap is closing big time
