    Current situation - with 20km to go:
    Yaroslav Popovych (Astana)
    Damiano Cunego (Lampre - N.G.C.), Gabriele Bosisio (LPR Brakes - Farnese Vini) at 0.13
    Peloton maglia rosa, about 25 riders at 2.14


    The final climb is going to be manic !

    4mins 48 secs to Maglia Rosa group. Bosisio not with Cunego (Popo has 25secs on him).

    Questions:

    Will Popovych go 'pop' on the final climb?

    Will Cunego take the stage?

    Will Carlos Sastre show on the final climb?

    How the hell is Basso not hot when he has his jersey completely zipped up.

    How can Popo distance Cunego.

    GO SASTRE.

    Di Luca flies hard. Menchov covers eventually.

    Poor Cunego, wanted him for the win.

    Doubt it, it's pretty good training for him, especially with more hills to come.

    Congratulations Sastre. I wish he pulled more time out of Menchov. Still he has the podium spot now, assuming he got more than 52 secs on Pellizotti. I hope he lights it up on Blockhaus too.

    Incredible stage though with over 7hrs riding. Just incredible.

    Pain on Sastre's face.

    Pain on Basso's face.

    Pain on Di Luca's face.

    Menchov is not even breathing.
