    Damn, the visibility at the finish is now down to about 10m. Could mean that attacks could slip away or that time checks are more difficult...

    62 CTT Irish rider crashed HARD. Front wheel slipped right out on a curve slightly downhill.

    Back on his bike now.

    That is going to get the CTT adrenaline punping. He was on the front of the bunch and they just saw him slid right across the road in front of them.

    Astana have had a pretty poor Giro so far, and with Levi out of the running, can see Lance going for it today.

    Masciarelli riding into the white jersey, perhaps. He's doing a good favour for Menchov.

    Eurosport is about 30-60 secs behind

    Di Luca attacked hard and Menchov covered very easily.

    Sastre currently dopped.

    Garzelli, Basso and Lance with Di Luca and Menchov.
