    Santambrogio's missed the boat. Will lose big time today.

    Wiggomare of a descent. Unreal handling by Sanchez.

    I like Nibali's style but if he crashed out on the descent it would look like a bad tactic as he seems to be sitting with a comfortable lead without needing to attack.

    Everything is just going perfectly for Nibs isnt it....

    One can't help but let it cheapen his win a little, even though it's totally shouldn't...

    Lampre going to work all the way to the finish now to keep Santambrogio from getting back.

    Wiggins to lose time here. Quite possibly. Sky dont know what hit them this Giro. Some real racing for once, not out of a spreadsheet and factory.

    Which group is Uran in? 3 Sky in the Santambrogio group.

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

    Ah, just seen him in with Nibs. Henao showing again that week 3 is why he hasn't been given the lead role yet.

    Must have been slightly later time check. He's dragging a line of others behind him as he chases the Nibali group.

    Samu goes and Uran sits and to leave him to it. Couldn't see who went after him, Betancur?

    Just gone off the screen on ES but was as high as 2"38 I think & just reappeared at 2"15

    Four Sky riders doing their best to intimidate Santambrogio psychologically.

    Cuddles is going to take this - he's been able to just sit in and let the others work.

    Cancel that, didn't know there were 3 away. Why no time gaps?

    They've been pretty slow to put them up, and there were a lot of people changing position over those last few kms. Guess they just couldn't keep up.
