Gilbert takes the V after Amador and Malacarne, who had been away since KM7, decided they'd rather ague with each other than win the race

    Amador seems like a bit of a character. Spent as much time shaking his head and making faces as he did pedalling.

    Ah no, Gesink loses to Evans. Basso well up there. Lots more top riders are actually racing like Contador this year.

    Maybe they've all had a big delivery of beef?

    This is turning out to be a terrific race. Far better than the ITT dominated Paris-Nice.
    Tomorrow has something really tasty in store.

    Anyone know why EBH was DNS - he seems a little "fragile" to say the least

    Achilles trouble again. Apparently only a niggle so it's precautionary. He was my PTP pick for the GC :cry:

    Cant predict today`s winner tho i can predict Carlton Kirby is a pain in the A*se -

    Laughing at his own jokes, talking sh*te, getting riders names wrong when you can see it`s a different rider. If david harmon leaves eurosport we will have this idiot in the hotseat. He spoil's it....and they said david duffield was murder to listen to. come back david all is forgiven.
