I imagine Nibali is just following wheels so he's not spending more energy than he would if he stayed back, but why doesn't he want a break to get away? Maybe he doesn't want more than 3 or 4 riders up the road?

They have their priorities wrong if they think of the team classification with Purito 4 seconds behind the leader. And you as well, I'm afraid ;)

of course their priority must be on the general classification, but sending some guys like Ignatiev or Pozzato in the hunt on the flat doesn't hurt Rodriguez at all

It helps Liquigas. If Nibali goes beyond la Cobertoria with any teammate the race is his.

if we won't have a breakaway in 30 km from now,we won't have a breakaway at all.san lorenzo will destroy the peloton.

Yeah, I doubt a break will go unless Moncoutie is in it. Cofidis will drive hard for Moncoutie.

Edit, looks like one has got away. That helps Moncoutie too. No one there is a threat to him.
 
we have a break

SANCHEZ GIL Luis Leon (058), PETERSON Thomas (106), MARZANO Marco (116), SPRICK Matthieu (048), LANGEVELD Sebastian (155), DYACHENKO Alexsandr (034), OROZ UGALDE Juan Jose (076), DE WEERT Kevin (143), TURPIN Ludovic (019), WILLEMS Frederik (129)

1.55 is the gap

No way Nibali would let Moncoutie go, he is only 6 mins back.

They're ahead of the fastest schedule. No way we'll see the climb to San Lorenzo from the start unless they stop at the feed area. :(
