Should be a good one. Anyone got a link for internet coverage - audio or video ?
it's a hard life if you don't weaken.

    Some riders are already majorly suffrin' by the look of it.

    Liquigas doing their usual thing.

    Shouldn't we be moaning about this stage as the summit comes 40 km from the finish?

    Simoni's just dropped back to give the stragglers some encouragement...

    No, 'cos it's all downhill to the finish and doesn't have 30 km of flat.

    Porte slipping backwards. Game over for him.

    Seems to be about 15 km of flat from look of the stage profile on cn.com.

    Maybe Wiggo actually thinks there's some grappa available at the summit...

    It's a good test for him.

    I'm impressed he's attacking on a mountain, and I really cannot stand him.
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    Really? I'd never got that impression.

    On his lonesome. As Harmon says, a big test.

    Have you not seen the route for next week?

    Not sure about Wiggy's more there? Far too far to ride from the summit even if he could have stayed away. Wouldn't be suprised to see Richie Porte get back on by the finish, depending in how many team mates his has around him.

    Don't get me wrong, love to see attacking racing, just not sure it's a wise move for Wiggy with what's to come next week. Maybe he knows he's not got much of a chance next week and thought a dig at the stage win might have been worth a go?

    Wiggo is back in the elite group. There's another Sky rider in there too.
