    Reading this at work, does Nibali look 'comfortable' or will one push by Bertie do for him?

    Scarponi just gets a push for a few m, just before ES talks about the pushes!

    Maybe AC kept with Nibali/Scarponi for Health and Safety reasons. Don't upset the Italians!!

    This feels like Basso's win over Simoni in 2006. He goes at will. It's like a Pro riding against the top amateurs,

    Ah thats harsh, rain just starts coming down hard. Feel sorry for those further back trying to climb those gradients in the wet.

    Huge bravo for Igor (and good for my ptp).

    I can understand the boo's for AC. I wouldn't imagine the crowd would appreciate him riding away from Nibali like that. But hey, it's racing.

    AC moves when it was safe too, if he went through the narrow bit on his own I expect he would have been tied to a tree and his underpants set on fire. Italians....ooh the passion!!!!

    I have been very disappointed with Nibali this Giro, will Liquigas regret saving Basso for Le Tour (especially when Bertie gets the frigger all clear from CAS)?

    Yeah I'm no AC fan but Italians booing a Spanish rider for doping (presumably) is a little bit ironic, did have a minor chuckle to myself...

    Great ride by Igor Anton. Amazing shots of how steep it is and that is really cruel weather with the rain starting.

    Purely because of Nationality, nothing to do with doping.
