    Forgot to add the rider or will he be happy that he is the best at what he does? Guess I'm thinking more of Sagan's threat for "his" green jersey

    2kms. This next km is the most crucial one left to ride.

    1.5k's and 20's lead
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Probably get there a lot quicker if he wasn't looking back so much

    Didn't look like Evans picked up any (or many) points

    6 points for Evans in 10th?

    Great effort by Visconti to take that one.

    Please tell me not Betancur again...

    Movistar my new fav team, they have smashed this Giro...
    Scott Speedster S20 Roadie for Speed
    Specialized Hardrock MTB for Lumps
    Specialized Langster SS for Ease
    Cinelli Mash Bolt Fixed for Pain
    n+1 is well and truly on track

    Navardauskas. Honey badgers are not renowned for their eyesight.

    Visconti is some bike rider, always seems to do it to win rather than a bit of showboating like a lot of breakaway specialists.

    Gain of 2 for the day then. Need some breaks to stick in the mountains but that doesn't seem to happen these days.

    On a pan flat stage with a smallish lump at the end?!

    Well I thought Evans would at least have chased points today and I don't get why Sky are not backing Uran the way they did with Wiggo?

    Di Luca doesnt stop trying but part of me is sad to see him unable to make anything stick. Would like for him to get a win before the end.

    Visconti was so strong on that climb. Blew past Di Luca then Chavez could barely hold his wheel then eventually couldn`t. Motivation from his first win no doubt giving him the fire to burn the tarmac.

    HEAVYWEIGHT WIN
