    If Sky attack on the first 2 climbs I'd be very surprised as they would just be taking Nibs & his 2 team mates with them. Far better to set a pace over the 2 climbs to put the hurt on BOUET and then just do as they always do (& seem to be pretty damn good at) wind the pace up even further on the lower slopes of the final climb and whittle the peloton down. Can't see Ag2R or of the others teams allowing a split with Sky & possibly Astana GC riders in it without other teams going as well
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Thanks.... Why is Eurosport not doing coverage until 45mins time! Annoying.... They are already at the base of the climb where I think it'll get a bit interesting!

    Over the Brentonico (penultimate climb) and the leading group of 7 have a 2min gap on the peleton. Ticker says Wiggins had some mech trouble on the way up. Not sure if there was a serious delay there.

    Noone else think Mauro Santambrogio might take this?

    Hard to say, guess we will know what the main teams are going to do when we hit the bottom of this climb

    Edit: looks like Sky train sat in second place in the peloton so possibly up the pace from the bottom and thin out the peloton.

    OOOOH.... Now for the interesting bit! ...Shame coverage started so late on in the stage!

    Cadel sat near the front of the peloton rockin & rollin that bike.

    Looks like Sky are leaving it to Astana to keep the pace in the peloton.

    Only people who can remember exactly what his name is do. The rest of us prefer not to mention him. No-one wants to risk typing Santabromio or Sanamgrobio.

    Bouet is still in the Peleton, leaders gap is nothing, will get caught in next minute or so with pace of front of peleton

    Though TBF on twitter right now have the following 2 tweets

    1) Wiggins looks shot? Back of the peloton and shaking his head at the ground
    2) like 2 days ago Wiggins just sitting around the back in the first part of the climb. Doesn't look in any trouble though.

    On a new bike and riding back at his own pace looks a bit mad but riding with ease to close the gap
