Etixx 6" behind Astana 
They lost 8" after the intermediate as well.

Damn Astana, Il Giro always loves to throw in surprises though. 19:45" for Etixx - Quick-Step in the end.

Aru crossed first I think? Keeping the pink jersey through the whole three weeks perhaps?

Well chapeau IAM! Might not be enough for a podium in the end, but still a great ride regardless of where the final results put them.

Quality TTT by Movistar. They'll nail it in the mountains in this form.
Lobato to end up in pink soon?

Today's team possibly underrated in the TTT by people and maybe 'lil bit under performance by some teams. When you have the likes of Izaguirre, Intxausti and some other decent but not great (by T.Martin standards) time trialists or flatland workhorses you should be able to do pretty well as long as you nail the relays.
Didn't quite predict them doing quite that good of a time though.

8" seconds up on Astana's time at 9.9km for Orica GreenEDGE. Now they just need to hold it until the finish.

Yes, I know but your boy Bling better watch out regardless.
@Malkael: Certainly yes. Maybe it's also a bit of a motivation thing. This Giro can be a real Free-For-All for them with Q and Valv not present.

Orica destroying everyone atm... Now I just hopes that they will give Maglia Rosa to Luke Durbridge. If they give it to Brett Lancaster I will bite the head of an owl, because I swapped those two in a manager game 5 minutes before the stage

Good job Chaves to manage to hang in there. Gerrans across in first as Orica GreenEDGE smash Astana by 13 seconds; a 19:26".

Orica 13" on Astana, phewww! Gerrans in maglia rosa, most likely.

Surely there's a joke somewhere with Gerrans beating his eammates to the line?
Contador is loose!
