Great stage!!! If only Pellizotti had done a bit better on that epic stage, but even so - that should be 4th guaranteed.
Pellizotti and Sella obviously made a deal on that stage, being former teammates, and it worked well 
Just one major stage left and Pellizotti needs to attack otherwise Pozzovivvo will just take 3rd back in the TT

Great race, Anton isnt doing a bad race. Hope he can hang on to that top 10. I just want him to pass fecking Kohl.
Also whats up with the jerseys, all messed up. |

 fucking crazy unbelievable!
I knew Cuengo was the better descender but I though Sella would never let him go on the mountain... but he did did I just win the Giro anyway? |

I guess so yes... next is a similar stage, and Cunego is the better descender so if Sella gets a gap Cunego should be able to close it and then beat sella in the sprint. and 7 seconds is nowhere near enough for Sella for the 30km TT... |

Correction: Only 1 was, and it wasnt really messed up at all
Since the DB thinks it is 2007, many riders qualify for the young riders jersey when they should not - including Cunego. So Cunego would have been wearing the jersey but since we dont recognise the classification, due to the problem with it, a transparent jersey file is used instead. The team logos cant be stopped from still appearing in that position though.

Hopefully, the Giro will be finished tomorrow.
After that, we'll be racing the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya

Could Sella, Cunego and Pozzovivvo please just crash into each other and all abandon? That would be great

Damn it, Pozzovivo. You have one opponent, Pellizotti, and your only job was to follow him. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Now, it's time to get rid of Pelli on the next mountain stage - or at least stay with him and get it over with in the time trial. |
