Kelderman only 20 seconds behind Nibbles. Come on Kelderman

Ouch

Nibali seems untouchable. Podium would be great

Podium! Podium! Podium!

Damn, Nibali just had to spoil the party

But hopefully Wilco will bounce back with a vengeance

C'mon Kelderman, let's do this.

WILCO!!! WILCO!!! WILCO!!!

@ all: With fans like you, Wilco will work his ass off to finish on that podium!

Keep that podium spot!!!

Come on Wilco, you can do it

Wilco can still win this, and I don't think Scarponi is such a big threat for 2nd place, really.

The 2nd day in a row, the finish awaits at the summit of a Dolomite-col. But to get to the summit of the Passo Pordoi, 160 kilometres and 3 more climbs await, with a total of 4106 height metres.



Today's broadcast starts with the view of 5 riders arriving at the summit of the first climb of the day, the Passo Monte Croci (11.1km at 6.2%). Alessandro Proni (Androni), Tony Gallopin (Garmin), Chris Barton (Qantas), Theo Bos (Omega Pharma) and Matteo Rabottini (Farnese Vini) have a margin of 6'13 to the peloton.



With Radio Shack in control of the pace of the peloton, it has thinned out to 79 riders. It arrives 6'14 later than the 3 leaders Barton, Proni and Rabottini at the summit of the Passo di Falzarego (15.8km at 5.7%).



The 3rd climb of the day is also the most difficult one, as the Passo di Fedaia is 13.8km long with an average gradient of 7.6%. A few hundred metres before the summit, Barton cracks and has to let the 2 Italians go. The peloton is slowly bridging the gap: + 5'03.



Thanks to the domestiques of Nibali, only 19 riders are left in the first peloton, or the group of favourites. All riders in the top 10 of the GC are present, and Kelderman is still joined by his team mates De Greef and Ruijgh.



The last descend is almost done, the group of favourites are about to start the final climb of the day to the summit of the Passo Pordoi, 12.3 kilometres at an average gradient of 6.4%. The big 3 have found each other already, with Kelderman leading Nibali and Scarponi.



Halfway up the climb, the leading duo of Proni and Rabottini has lost 50% of the margin to the peloton"1'53. Kelderman was riding attentful in 3rd position, but within 400 metres time, he has fallen back to the 10th place. Reason: Radio Shack's Matthew Busche had done his work and let himself fall back, thereby blocking the number 2 of the GC..... Not again



With Scarponi, Nibali and Antón in the first 3 positions of this chasing group, Kelderman does whatever he can to work his way to the front. But after 1 kilometre, he has gained only 1 position. Gap to the 2 leaders: '56.



The road is a little less narrow in the next kilometre, so Kelderman can make his way to the front. But when he arrives there, Scarponi attacks. Nibali is the only one that can follow him.



It takes Scarponi 1 kilometre to bridge the gap to the 2 leaders and leaves his 2 countrymen behind. Nibali follows at 6 seconds, and the group with Rabottini, Rowe, Proni, Antón, Kelderman, Spilak, Taaramäe, Mollema and Van den Broeck at '18.



With only 1 kilometre to go, Kelderman knows he will also loose the 2nd place in the GC to Scarponi, and tries to minimize his loss. The gap has increased to 30 seconds now.



Sweet revenge for his defeat against Nibali yesterday, as Michele Scarponi takes his 2nd stage win in this Giro. And he deserves it, as he was the one that attacked. 30 seconds behind the 2 Italians, Wilco Kelderman nearly edges out Igor Antón in the sprint for the 3rd place, with also Taaramäe, Van den Broeck and Luke Rowe in the same time. Biggest loser of the day is GC's number 7 Dario Cataldo, who finishes at 3'02.

Okay, know it is clear that Scarponi and Nibali are the 2 best climbers in this Giro. And with some nasty mountain stages coming up, Wilco will now focus on staying in 3rd.

It wouldn't surprise me if the two Italians are now working together

Hope you can keep that podium!

Since when is Igor ANton estonian?
And it looks like everyone is blocking you, do you thing they made a secret agreement?

Changed it. I have the talent to let my riders get blocked, even though that rider is in the lead of a group. Pretty frustrating....

Only one solution: Tour de France on Console, you can't get blocked in there. You can block other riders, though, really fun

'

that game is pretty realistic, I lost 1 minute with the rabo trio (Gesink, Mollema and Kruijswijk) on the stage to Metz

The stage to Metz? Bu.. But it's flat

I know, didn't make much sense, however was between 1 and 10 minutes, was my first playthough so didn't remember very well. was playing as Renshaw and suddenly the peleton stopped at a turn and the peleton split with only me being in the first pack . now in my playthough that is on hiatus I lost 10 minutes with Kruijswijk in the third stage (It's a curse I tell you)
