    Sorry, didn't mean to "taint" Sagan by association - just that it is incredible that he is up there in that sort of company.

    Kresuziger is leading the down and creating a 50m gap with Frank and Sagan on the wheel. About 10 riders behind.

    Very narrow and wet.

    Scarponi crashes.

    45 secs to Meyer. One other Movistar joined the three leaders. Maybe Costa.

    after his exploits in the Giro?

    If Sagan can stay in there, surely Visconti should be able to. Is Tangert in there?

    We dont really know Sagan's potential I guess whereas you might argue that we thought we knew what Visconti was capable of.

    28secs. Kreuziger riding for GC but will have to shed Frank later int he race.

    1.24 to Meyer.

    Frank should help out here, fail so far on that front.

    Martin doing all the work behind for the most part.

    Cheers for links. I'm at work now on this poor computer without flash and stuff so the streams don't work.

    Edit: Found this exellent stream which works. And is without that incredibly annoying commentator from yesterday.

    I cant make out whether the Movistar rider is 1 (Rui) or 7 (Sanz) due to the wet on the screen. Both riders have come up on the info graphic.

    Id suspect Rui.
