Re:

Need to up the pace just little bit more and people will start to drop off from the peloton

Lots are hanging on and if the pace ups a little will be dropped

Nope, this climb is just a false flat until 4.5km to go.

I LOVE the tiz stream. Occasional cut-outs, but quite rare and mostly not choppy for me. I wouldn't be seeing the Giro without it, or at least not as consistently What a beautiful stage today, the terrain is uncommon with this huge, open plateau.

Italy never disappoints.

The road has been resurfaced for Il Giro

Masnada means "band of roving soldiers".

Masnada is very strong. 30" on Boaro, almost 50" on the small group.

those gaps aren't right. They just passed under the 10 km banner and showed all 3 groups do it on the eurosport feed. I counted 16 seconds between masnada and boaro, and another 15 to the other chasers

 

[Irondan]

Stunning scenery!

The Giro never disappoints...

No way, gaps are much bigger.

 

[ngent41]

they are now, at the 10 km banner, they were not, watch it for yourself

Commentators have no idea when the steep section starts.

 

[SafeBet]

Moto guy says it's a head wind now.

 

[TourOfSardinia]
