    96th place for Gerdemann. Those tri-bars were a big help.

    That last KM is BRUTAL. Sastre looked ok at 700m, at 500m it was getting tough at 250m he looked near dead.

    Evans pulled back 28 seconds on Basso I believe.

    Basso will be happy with that I expect.

    Correct. Now we wait and see if they have pulled back time on Arroyo

    It's a long way but Arroyo's doing a fabulous ride!

    So, the ITT basically made almost nil difference. A handful of seconds between the main protagonisti.

    It's gonna be close but Porte just might still be in front of Basso yet!

    great. Evans pulls Basso back to 42 seconds on GC...Evans could take pink in the 10 mile TT final stage...this is 1989 TDF scenario maybe...hope so

    I know it's been said before but what a Giro this is turning out to be, could even come down to time bonuses on the last two uphill finishes if they are selective enough.

    Fri and Sat are both monster mountain stages - this GC could go anywhere.

    Is tomorrow's stage tough enough to cause any sizable gaps? Hard to say from looking at the profile.
