Bad news for us though. I hope we won't lose the TV signal. |

That landscape is something unusual in a cycling stage. O.o |

He abandoned after the Cibiana for unknown reasons. Obviously just not in form. Haven`t seen or heard him crashing. |

Nibali has 25 seconds, and theres a Movistar rider working for Contador it seems

Fedaia is one of the most beatiful mountain passes, for sure. |

I think it's Lastras. Also Anton looked like relaying for a bit. And 25 isn't that impressive but at least Nibali is trying something

Why are Movistar, Katusha and other teams chasing? If someone should chase, it should be Lampre, Saxo Bank and Euskaltel. The other teams leaders have no chance to overtake Nibali in the overall standings. I don't get it, they won't win the stage neither.....It would be way smarter to just leave the chase to Contador, and maybe Anton and Scarponi, as they have no helpers left.
This is horrible racing, especially Movistar and Katusha.
But the stage itself is spectacular to watch

Not much point at trying to go solo for the rest of the stage now, with 2 climbs left. So, a chance to play a few mindgames and make sure he is still with Contador at the top of this one, so he can descend away once again and really push for it up the final climb

This is the best stage thus far I think. Amazing. Contador finally seems to be under some pressure.

The aerial shots are beatiful. Great stage with a great landscape. It's the first time I see a race pass by Fedaia, and I love it. |
