Re:

So now the "Gruppo" lost a minute again? Or was the timing incorrect?

yup, that was my hunch too.

Astana group was 6'20'' at the top of the climb. I timed it myself.

Re: Re:

How tough is the last climb be4 the finish? Anyone with a profile?

Just look at the first page.

Thanks. Although the "4.7%" must surely be a mistake. More like 8.8% average gradient

You have to remember that I am going with live ticker :/ Going to watch it in 11 hours after I get off of work.
Last time I saw it was 5:30 at around 50km to go and dropping fast

And such a stunning scenery yet!

Anyone know where the grupetto is? Short stage, could there be potential issues with the time-cut?

Re:

Kreuziger should just solo it. From you guys it sounds like he is always on the front anyway. Would love to see Tinkoff DS' and Contador's reaction

Contador will be happy. He's not going to have to work for RK even if he has lead. The others will have to dislodge RK at some point and Contador just got to follow. They are stupid to give him that sort of lead.

Could be potential issue with the last circuit. Maybe they will be caught by the stage winner?

If you ever can stay in Vernazza and ride up the climb to the Via Aurelia. A beast.

I hope the organisers have thought about that. Could be dangerous.

 

[Kwibus]

Just more then 4 minutes... Oh boy...

 

[the sceptic]

4:20 now

 

[rhubroma]

Gap coming down @ 4'17".

 

[Asero831]

Kangert looks strong.

Now it's suddenly 4:17.

They might well catch them.

I am sure Contador will be overjoyed that Kreuziger gets 5-6 minute gap on everyone. Dont think others can bring it down. Maybe Astana can try something with Tinkoff looking really weak but who is going to chase if they send someone up the road? Rogers alone, or Kreuziger in pink?
