    Even if Kreuziger gets back on the descent, the initial ramp of the Giau is very steep.

    Is it 14% average? Or is the steepest section 14%?

    That's the first hundred metres or so. Then it snakes through the woods with little steep pitches. More steady in the second half above the trees.

    Hope J-Rod doesnt hurt. Cant see any teammates although Moreno may be near the back.
