    Not sure what this means:

    Nibali is close to the front and is giving Sky a bit of grief
    Contador is the Greatest

    Good to see Cunego at the sharp end of a race

    Doesn't give up.

    Dumoulin for Argos riding the best here.

    Wow, the FDJ guy was walking up the climb faster than his team mate was riding up.

    Is there any rule against CX-style dismount & carry?

    He's probably trying to hit their power meters with a hammer

    The look cleat rule that scunnered my dismount at Glasgow Central station yesterday... With hilarious (for onlookers) results.

    Though he was going faster than the motor bike rider that just fell over
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Can't get used to the fact that Nibali isn't riding for Liquigas.

    Moto trying to come up the inside, slips and falls into the peloton. Lucky he didn't knock anyone off.

    Oh man, this is brutal. Going to be some nice gaps.

    All dry now more or less.

    Cunego and Dumoulin grinding

    Could have been terrible.

    These climbs are ridiculously steep. Apparently an AG2R rider had to get off and walk :shock:

    thats going to be tough when the peloton hit that climb - it looked barely wide enough for 2. :shock:

    Dumoulin looks like he weighs 90kg and is dropping Cunego...

    7 riders at the front now. 2.25 and 33 km. Think there might be a NetApp Endura rider there.
