    Rujano is going to do well to be anywhere near Cunego at the bottom of the descent.

    Cunego goes past Rujano like he's standing still.

    Surely Cunego won't press on though.

    No arm warmers or jacket for Cunego... he must be freezing

    Maybe now he's gone and covered the move Lampre have decided to get Cunego further up the road to help out Scarponi further up the climb to Cervinia?

    I share your exact sentiments... If Andy had used his brain and came to this event he could've won his "first" GT... but instead he will ride the Tour and finish 4th ! Muppet

    This is all a waste of a perfectly good mountain.

    Liquigas have stepped it up a bit now. Still 12 km to go.

    As Harmon just said, I'm hoping that Rujano will have another go if he didn't burn all his matches on the previous climb. God knows why he tried to attack when there was a wet, technical descent to come.

    That peloton is still very big. Today was always going to be a bit of a grind, hopefully somebody will try something and we'll see a few guys go out the back.

    De Marchi catches Amador. Between those two for the stage win.

    Had to read that twice - first time i thought you were saying Sky were getting warmed up.

    I can't see them staying away....they're losing nearly a minute per km over the last 3 kms

    Finally starting to see the group thinning out.

    Schleck seems to have recovered from his earlier grump, right on Scarponi's wheel.

    Hope Basso is feeling good and gives Sly permission to drop the hammer.

    I thought not, but now it could go either way. Gap coming down very fast.

    Going to be touch and go, Jan Barta catching the two leaders now.

    Uran sitting at the back, he just doesn't seem to have the consistency you need for a GT.
