Shame Hirt is there alone, but I guess he got to used to it by now :) Actually he never got to know anything else so he doesn't even had a chance to git used to it :razz:
Actually there maybe are two CCCs? One had to come back somewhere.

Looks like some riders have got back on the back there. Not sure how tough this pace really is.

Climb is irregular so opportunities for some regrouping all the way up I think.

Good to see Pippo drop out of the break once he saw that the GC contenders will probably fight for the stage win.

Now he can soft pedal the rest of the stage to fight for the win tomorrow.
Smart guy :)

It's clear, I think, that Zakarin will attack at some point. Where, is the question. If he attacks here on the Grappa, it's a long ways to the finish. Or are Katusha simply softening up for him for the final climb, where once he attacks, there is no second option. Hard to imagine the entire team destroying themselves for simply gaining some room for the descent of the Grappa. Zakarin isn't exactly Savoldelli on the descents, so I don't see him having a flyer on that particular part of the race course.
