14:57 CEST (73km remaining from 262km)

Astana are driving the peloton, which has split into two groups under the pressure of the Kazakhstani team. That's not an encouraging sign for the chasers as they'll need plenty of help if they want to make inroads into the gap.

Gazzetta shows 30 second gap between Maglia Rosa group and dropped riders.

You've got to be kidding me.

Epic stage in the making and Eurosport are showing some 2nd rate tennis game

Congratulations. You just described eurosport in its entirety.

not good

Seems more like the silent, no commentator, language to me

Like I said, there is no differene between no commentators and commentators in languages you have no clue what they saying

That doesnt make it English though!

sky crash!

 

[Cerberus]

break is losing it's impetus. going on sherwen's law, what should be the end gap?

It's Chapatte's Law, Sherwen just happens to use it a lot. Anyway it really doesn't apply to breaks of this size (it's actually meant for solo riders), there's way to many variables to make such a simple prediction and expect it to be even slightly accurate.

Sky on the ground again

 

[Roland Rat]

you reckon? hope so...

Not a chance. Sherwen's Law assumes

1. A relatively small break, tired from the days' work;
2. A powerful team or teams in an organised chase not as tired as the break;
3. Flat parcours.

We don't have any of those.

Oh bloody hell. Who and how?

ROTFL! Team Ground does it again. Maybe we should all pitch in and buy them some training wheels.

Sky on the ground again

It's a little ironic that such an unearthly named team spends so much time on the ground.

1st Porte
2nd Arroyo

3rd Kiserlovski
4th Agnoli

I think Kiserlovski was mentioned as well as Tondo.

Barry, middle of the road, feed station. He's fine, he'll make it back to the front without too much trouble, they're all eating.

 

[Kender]

gaps come down 20 seconds in 5km

 

[auscyclefan94]

would like some coverage on vino group!

 

[tgsgirl]

Hmm, twitter says Cummings.

What happened? He dropped a pie or so?

 

[Zen Master]

This Giro rules.

Exactly !

Believe it or not on some other thread someone said that Giro has nothing interesting until Saturday

 

[Potomac]

I was scanning the list of gaps for the guys in the break, thankyou for posting them, nobody up there seems like a real threat.

Normally I would have said don't let Sastre back in but he's really given up the ghost in this race. I know he usually saves his best for the end of a GT, and he could still make everyone look like fools today. Maybe letting him back in will give him Rose Fever
