    Navardauskas and Oss strong on the hill, so unless thye melt, they might be away.

    Navardauskas attacks to no end as I type....

    Anyone know what Blanco are doing on the front this late riding that hard?
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Arrangement on the road is
    two blokes at front

    correction

    one bloke at front
    one a spent force
    then duque
    then chasing group
    then peleton

    correct?

    I went to the Vajont dam ...

    The dam somehow wasn't destroyed and you can actually walk across the top. There are some big cracks in it though, which is unnerving.
    I've been there too. And if I remember correctly, behind the dam wall there is no lake at all, just the rock and earth which slipped down 50 years ago. This means about 50 m height of the dam wall on the "lake" side is now visible. The closest remnants of the lake are farther upstream, perhaps 2 km away, and the water there isn't allowed to rise to ever come close to the dam wall.

    You could see this on the overhead heli shot just now.

    Hesjedal suffering today or just throwing away GC time for some later stage hunting?

    Yes, I took some photos of this when I was there. They also showed us how high the water got to on the other side of the valley - it was amazing. Hard to visualise something so devastating!
