I've got a knee injury, so I couldn't even if I wanted to

Rambo leads the mountains classification so some more points today could go down well.Contador is the Greatest0

Fyi, Nibs attacked on the descent last year. Got 30secs by the bottom. That was the MONSTER stage (Contador's hardest day in his career) and Nieve's superb ride.

Proper hills at last. Can't believe the first one was only a 2nd cat! Haven't watched the Giro many times so not familiar with the Passo Giau - looking forward to it though

It's as hard as Alpe d'Huez. Gets the afternoon sun too.
They've just passed a turn-off for it on the last descent, but will be looping back here via a ridge of cols from further down the main valley.0 -

Really wish the TV coverage was genuine HD. Falling in love with Italy despite only ever having been to Rome for a weekend. Had planned going to the Lakes last year but couldn't afford it

Some news on Frank Schleck.Initial examinations on his shoulder showed “a hematoma in both my neck and the articulation that I dislocated. These are putting pressure on the nerve system and are the cause of the pain. Besides this, I still have the inflammation in the left leg, from overcompensating the painful shoulder with a cramped position on the bike.”0

One of Scarponi's climbing domestiques has been trying to chase back through the peloton for a while.0

Here come Liquigas to set tempo until 250 metres before the summit of the Giau. Then Basso will unleash his fury.0
