    Live stream now on. Beautiful day.

    Been racing for 4hrs50mins.

    About 100 riders in the main group...someone needs to shake it up.

    Garzelli looks very comfortable...he has 2.25 on Visconti and Grivko.

    Such a tough Queen stage, that they are averaging in excess of 42kph.
    Just 70kms, 50 of which are downhill, to go.
    should be over by 4-15pmCET , an hour ahead of schedule.

    Great legs though.

    5-3 in the third now.

    Giro coverage coming up apparently which is terribly kind of them.

    Eh, she's nice, but too skinny for me. Haven't seen Ivanovic on Eurosport all year :cry:

    Match point as I type.

    Lets hope it will be better than the ascent!

    He has quite a good gap: Vis/Griv crested four mins after he did. May well be Garzelli's day. This would be a worthy win so I will be rooting for him.

    How is his descending?

    5.28 for the next four guys.

    6.20 for the peloton...80 or so riders :(

    5000 euros goes to Garzelli in prize money.

    The decent isn't too difficult, so I don't think the size of their balls will matter too much.

    Just how much they weigh ;).

    Sorry, my mistake. I thought this was the Queen stage?

    Fausto is spinning in his grave I suspect.

    :roll:

    I'm waiting for Davy to turn up and tell us all how much climbing there is and how it's such a hard stage.
    Garzelli looks set for the win and to take back a shed load of time.
    He'll probably want to lose it again, to go off in search of another stage win and the green jersey.
    Soon be over...
