Movistar!
Valverde wins the stage and Quintana now wears white! 
Only bad thing about the stage is that Intxausti lost almost 7 minutes

Today we probably have the first important stage for the general. The stage is an individual time trial, with a length of about 55kms.

I would have gone for stage wins if I were manager of Androni anyway, but what were your expectations of Pellizotti?

Don't know how far Samu is behind in the GC, but losing over 4 minutes in the TT isn't really helping  |

@fcancellara: Nah, tomorrow is more like stage 7, so only boni
@mvhoogdalem: If he can do a Landis-like attack, everything is possible
@Ollfardh: His terrain is yet to come
SS2JLuigi: Luckily for you, 5 Sky riders have to work, while there are 0 Blancos that have to work
@TMM: The mountains, where Contador is better, are coming up. Still, he is looking good
