will the gc favs have a go today or will they save themselves for terminillo?

Depends... If one GC fave goes everyone who can will obviously respond. Given that Катюша is giving Liquigas a free ride today, I imagine if someone like Garzelli attacks, Liquigas will swarm en masse and chase him down. I doubt Basso or Nibali will counter-attack himself.

Sastre is in the second group....

a few beat me to it. Though according to my practically non-existent Italian, the second group is 15 seconds behind.

Yes Sastre in the 2nd group. I've seen the Cervelo boys hanging around the back of the peleton a couple of times now.... And now its costing them.

Said it before, this just isn't his Giro.
Weening is also in this group, Mollema as well, I think. Mollema is notoriously bad in this kind of weather.

It isn't at all. I think he's losing the Giro today.

And why the heck are Katusha killing themselves to drop Sastre? It's not like he's an opponent of theirs

It's the weather maybe? Who knows if it warms up, his diesel will reignite?
