Fedaia doesn't start until 38.6km remaining, and that is to Garzelli. Still a long way to go, huge descent.

Let's hope Arroyo gets a larger gap on Contador. This way Contador has to do it himself.

While Nibali might not get a big gap he's preventing people from grouping up behind him as they can't slow down to wait for others so it seems the Fedaia is going to start with a lot of people solo or in groups of 2-4 it's going to be quite a race.

about a group of 10 I think.

I can't quite tell the 5 behind.. Did I see pozzo's blue shirt?
Pozzovivo retired hours ago, so it can't be him

Love Nibs's heroics. Hopefully he can do this once more and force the others to burn candles chasing him up two Cat 1s.

Seems to be straighten out a bit though towards the end.

I hope, because I am worried about Anton :eek:

Fifteen seconds between nibali and contador. Not much, but kudos for trying

Considering I doubt it is costing Nibali to much energy, it's more about skill then effort if he can take about 30 seconds here and another 30 or so on the descent of the Fedaia that's a nice free minute, and that's on Contador imagine what he might get on someone like Rujano.

Pozzo dropped out this morning. He's in terrible form. If they put the mountains at the start of the Giro he'd be great and dominates the climbs on the domestic calendar but he seldom lasts to get to them in the Giro.
