nobody is going to worry too much about those four, so perhaps they may sneak away and stay away, a bit like yesterday. wouldnt that screw up everybody's predictions and fantasy teams?

It's the 2nd Saturday in the Giro, a finish climb that's about 4%.
No one is really going to do much I would say. Today is about wearing people down.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -
Very sedate pace, today.

86 km to go and an 8 minute lead ! hmm at what point does the 1 minute per 10km rule apply? the peloton looked pretty sedate through the feed stationhttp://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=3370a&r=3&c=5&u=M&g=p&f=abcdefghij&z=a.png

Wouldn't apply for this stage anyway with a 19km climb even one at just a few percent.
Does anyone really care enough to chase though?Jibbering Sports Stuff: http://jibbering.com/sports/0 -
what a gem moment to see Cavendish doing a domestique job - how good is that for team spirit!http://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=3370a&r=3&c=5&u=M&g=p&f=abcdefghij&z=a.png

Fair play to Cav going back for the bidons.0

Cav's on duty as Water Monitor today, going back to the team car to fetch bottles.

Love going on a long ride before watching a hard race. Goes to show what incredible and unparalleled athletes these guys are.
Massive respect for the win yesterday. Big sack of courage that little Colombian has.

Rather skilful, steering a motorbike one-handed through those twisty narrow streets.0

Lampre doing some work today - maybe they feel they can have a man in pink at the days close?http://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=3370a&r=3&c=5&u=M&g=p&f=abcdefghij&z=a.png

"At the Vuelta last year at Sierra Nevada, on a stage just like today, everybody was watching me and Dani won," Rodriguez said at the start.Contador is the Greatest0

20 bonus secs for first is pretty decent.
Stages 14, 15, 17, 19 and 20 are the only stages where there are no bonuses on offer at the finishContador is the Greatest0 -
Av speed for first 100km was only 32km/h

They need to pick it up to scoop those seconds. Although time will come down faster on the climb.Contador is the Greatest0

Cunego @ 1'25"
Scarponi @ 1'26"
Can't see it being that selective. Wouldn't be surprised to see a group of 10-20 riders at the finish.

I know the leader's jersey gives you a bit extra... but not that much. Garmin riding now for Hesjedal.0 -

The next rest day is the following Monday due to having to have one for this stupid Denmark jaunt. That certainly impacts the racing.Contador is the Greatest0
