Smallish break, but one with significant quality.

Go Geschke....

And they stick. 3'40'' now. I guess we'll have pictures near the first TV or on Molella.

Somebody will have to take that jersey off Contador by force. I think that he would like to perpetuate the habit of once taken never give it away. It adds to the legend.

De Jongh saying that he expect attacks from the other riders today, and Contador still have pain in the shoulder and in the muscles above one of his knees.

So if this will carry on we might end with Moinard in pink :)

Moinard is not a worry for GC as Hesjedal is. Saxo would be pleasant to see Moinard in pink, but maybe dont like too much give 3 minutes to Hesjedal, that has showed in The Giro and previusly in the Tour he can be very strong in the last week.

Anyway today there are a lot of things to happen, the stage is really hard, this is not like a breaway in a flat stage that the peloton can catch... today is one of the queen stages of this Giro, long and hard, and Astana did a lot of damage in a hard, but short stage.

5 minutes is the gap now. Not very much.


Not very much but with this start all the domestiques must be exhausted. This 5 minutes are more solid that when a peloton allow 10 minutes.

No it's not lol

You don't even know if dom are tired, besides the front must be exhausted too then.

Terrible reasoning.
