    5 km and a 1:12 lead - evaporating fast - who was it said Millar will be caught in the last km?

    A complete disaster
    Egoi M is the worst hit.

    Of all the people to go down. Race leader - the guy who is supposed to be protected by his team - brought down by them by the looks of it. Crazy.

    Anton is in the team car - those seats will be a bit of a mess - could have hosed him off of covered him up before he got in - not using my car as a team support!

    No Caisse rider in the Nibali group either. So Bruseghin obviously fell too.

    Indeed. Their positioning was suspect though and as already said it does look possible his own man may have clipped his wheel.
    Such a dissapointment for him and also as you said all the Basques on the mountain.
