    Where's Cav? (How do the Cavs get up mountains like this?)

    Form a bus and ride at their own pace.

    Or hitch a ride hanging on to cars. :wink:

    Still four more mountain stages to go. Looks like GC is being whittled down. Still 50km to race today though.

    Nasty climb that one. Very hard. Sky domestiques (I dont even know his name) riding up it like he is on the flat.

    Think I counted 2
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    I thought Walsh was saying earlier that Henao was in better form... so much for his insight from the Sky camp...

    Yeah I think so too. Hard to spot as only 1 rider in an Astana jersey. Then Nibali in pink and another Astana rider in a white jersey (young rider's jersey like the tour?)

    That's a big gap from the first two riders back to the following pair.

    But would they have known until today? It's a fair comment prior to the stage perhaps.

    Rodriguez has 4mins over the peloton at the top of the climb. A handful of riders in between.

    That's such a narrow dangerous descent with numerous kinks in it and not many hairpins to slow things down. No room for error!

    He's the one riding shotgun in the Wiggins group. Expect he's being saved to work on the final climb.

    They all look the same. I got a great photo of that Suitsou bloke winning a lovely Giro stage. Didnt recognise him today...

    I thought henao had dropped from the group - cataldo, suitsou and uran were still with him.
    Team Sky @teamsky
    Henao has become distanced on the climb. It's Siutsou, Wiggins, Cataldo and Uran still on the front. Very select group now #Giro

    Can't tell which one is Wiggins on this screen and no commentary. Is he third in the sky line (only seem to be 3 of them now)?

    As in you can't because of work or nerves? Road is looking dry and Sky all seem to be up there so far and doing OK

    Nothing. I like 40% of his posts, really like 30% of his posts, which then makes the remaining 30% of the posts just really annoy me, because I feel he is doing it deliberately to wind people up. So I'm thinking rather than get annoyed, just ignore. Job done.

    Wiggins third in line of three Sky. Black socks, silver shoes, other 2 have white shoes.

    I've done the same. When not trolling it's no problem but most of the time during a race it's not worth seeing.
