Pozzovivo might have lost a lot time, he doesn't appear in the top-60 at the Giro Website. Unless he rode in a team mate's bike. |

I really got the feeling that Contador will try to win with as much as possible tomorrow, and then "relax" the rest of the Giro. Just to show his insane strength this Giro, compared to all the others. And he looked really strong today....wonder how much time he can gain tomorrow, if he really aims for it. |

That might be his plan, but when it comes down to it, Contador cant seem to stop himself attacking

I'm almost hoping that Contador is doped, 'cause if he's not then this is just ridicolous... |

Euskaltel are dissapointed to have missed out on the worst tactics award, they feel they did much more for Contador over the day than Astana!

Basque Teams and Riders DO NOT Count. They haven't got any tactic at all they just did that by accident |

I have to echo everyone saying that Contador is making this boring. The worst bit is knowing that he shouldn't even be here.

Contador has just put 1:29 on Dupont and 1:36 on Kiryienka. There has been some ridiculous performances in this stage, but they are those of Scarponi, Kreuziger, Nibali and Menchov. |

Euskaltel had to work because they missed they were one of the few teams who didn't get a rider in the break.
I hate gifting stages. Denigrates it for me. |

Word!
If offense is the best defence, does it mean that defence is the worst defence?

Lofkvist is bugged/affected by the chest infection last past week and this week. He is on anti-biotics and so not on the pace but the Giro is not over.
Sky director words.

Monte Crostis has finally been eliminated of tomorrow's stage. An alternate route to the foot of the Zoncolan will be announced soon. |
