    well hell of a save by the mongrel dog but I think he is done and dusted...

    basso looking strong-ish but so is JR


    Jrod showed nothing on that climb... the ryder bluffed a fair bit I think. a lot of bluffing on that climb, Basso if he had anything more was sensible not to show it, Deserved the stage for putting the hurt on.

    Had a 26pt lead and it's 25 for the win. Wasn't paying enough attention today to know what happened in the TV sprint, though

    Edit: that's also what they've got on gazzetta: http://www.gazzetta.it/Speciali/Giroditalia/2012/en/

    Has it been whittled down a little more now to just the top 4?

    General classification after stage 17
    1 Joaquim Rodriguez Oliver (Spa) Katusha Team 74:46:46
    2 Ryder Hesjedal (Can) Garmin - Barracuda 0:00:30
    3 Ivan Basso (Ita) Liquigas-Cannondale 0:01:22
    4 Michele Scarponi (Ita) Lampre - ISD 0:01:36
    5 Rigoberto Uran Uran (Col) Sky Procycling 0:02:56
    6 Benat Intxausti Elorriaga (Spa) Movistar Team 0:03:04
    7 Domenico Pozzovivo (Ita) Colnago - CSF Inox 0:03:19
    8 Paolo Tiralongo (Ita) Astana Pro Team 0:04:13

    They're all going to have to put in some serious attacks to get some time on Ryder before Sunday.

    Finished in the Gruppetto @38.26 - which is comfortably safe as far as I know.

    As we know from experience, as long as there's enough riders in there it doesn't matter what time they rolled in ;)

    Very pleasant. Especially as I'm on holiday for a week from tomorrow anyway.

    Betfair make it a top 3. JRod slight favourite from Basso and Ryder.
    Scarponi further back with 20+ for Uran and Pozzo

    Huge gain by Uran.

    19 and 20 are pretty brutal. Everything can change then to be honest.

    But a 25 point penalty would end his chances unless J-Rod go no more points on any of the finishes. So it still matters if he wants to win the jersey as opposed to simply finishing.
