Today from images at the top, it looked like it was snowing/sleeting a little.

After yesterday, I don't know how many contenders really want to kill themselves again today.

Breakaway?

For those in the UK who are cursing Eurosport UK for not starting the coverage until 3.30, it was/is live from 1.30 on Eurosport HD/International...:)

Urán is a quality rider getting better all the time. I had high hopes for his GC possibilities this year after showing some good performances in week 3 in the Tour last year. I hope he can go for the KOM and pick up a stage here or there. Of course, it'd be even better if he can gain a ton of time from breaks and suddenly be back in contention like he's José Rujano in 2005, but that's a bit unlikely.

Point remains valid that there is a unusually low % of Italians. 17 riders up the road equates to around 10% of the field, and then only one is really unusual.

Modolo and Wegmann abandoned as well? The latter was the Milram rider I was sure was going to be in the break today....

Lampre is not represented in the break, and I suppose they have nothing but stage wins to aim for, with simoni and cunego far behind. And losing petacchi today, this is the kind of stage to do it, I guess. Hope and think Simoni is saving himself for one last, big day at Zoncolan, though..

what's the avg. gradient for terminillo? the fonts are to small.

This is what it looks like. The finish is probably at Campoforgona, so the last kilometre looks easy. Average grade ~6%.
