Di Luca, Iglinski and Nocentini catch up with this group, with Rujano and Contador also labouring their way back up
Nibali is just behind ahead of Anton and then Lovkvist and Niemiec - Nibali putting pressure on the Young riders jersey

Ricco and Pellizotti did get a small gap, but are borught back
Only for Pellizotti to go on the attack once again

Sella crosses alone in 2nd place - he has been making ground on Cunego, the gap now down to 1'20

Pellizotti is just 30 seconds later, at 2'50

And then Contador and Ardila lead Marzano, Nocentini, Nibali, Anton, Iglinski and Di Luca over the top at a gap of 6 minutes.
Lovkvist and Niemiec are close to grabbing the wheels of this group, as the Swede still battles to save his young rider jersey

The big move in the descent comes from Pellizotti, who is able to catch Pozzovivvo

Cunego and Sella ride onto the final climb, but when Pellizotti reaches it he attacks, Pozzovivvo trying to counter

It seems being in a group at the foot of the climb makes you attack - bad news for Ricco who it seems is about to have Rujano, Karpets and Devolder for company

Sella has moved back into climbing mode, gap to Cunego down to 1'10 with 8,5km to go - and he gaps Pellizotti

With Ricco finding his gap to Pozzovivvo going up to 1'40 he now attacks, leaving behind his temporary companions

Cunego is clearly on the limit trying to hold off Sella, but the gap is slowly coming down - 1 minute with 7km to go

Ricco is now back on track, and has his eyes set on Pozzovivvo. As things stand, with no further time gains (probably unlikely, but still), it could be very close between those 2, Pellizotti and maybe even Sella for the podium positions
