Sagan riding from left to right to ease the percentage.

The only logical explanation is that there must have been Broom wagon driver's scouts in Sant'Elpidio today.

He would need to hold the advantage for next 10kms to the finish though.

This is great. I'm getting a masterclass in how to better ride the short, sharp 25% section near home. Hopefully do it without feeling like I'm going bakwards next time...maybe... |

Think all the Astana abandons now leave Nibali alone although the benefits of team mates at 27% is somewhat diluted anyway  |

Nocentini going bakwards from the (splintered) break so Sky quite happy for it to stick while Cannondale come to the front. |

Sagan approves, he is short of teammates almost every decisive moment. 
Edit: But now they are working,nice.

Attacking on that 27% wall? Does that mean throwing your bike aside, sprinting up by foot and grabbing a new bike at the top?  |

What?! Look at the train he's riding
Break regrouped - now 7 left Dumoulin, Cunego, Intxausti Visconti, E. Martinez, Impey, Selvaggi I think. |

Now that would be wonderful. Purito caning it on the front then some guy flies past pushing his bike up the gutter |

Going to be a Purito - Sagan head to head?!
If they stay together over the top then stay away wonder who will win the sprint

I think with Schleck its a case of, if he can't win he cant be bothered. He isn't winning tomo's TT, so the minute he was dropped here he gave up cos there was no point. What he needs to is to ride hard, put in the hours (Look at Tommy B this week and the amount of hours he did pulling to get hard miles under him), but he doesn't want to ride unless he can win.
Incidently, I so want to see someone just run up the 27% off the bike. Someone did it earlier apparently but it wasn't on camera. |

One of the cyclist offered a bottle to a fan in exchange for a push uphill. Deal done |
