    Uffff.... Carlton has still not worked out that the 'attractivity' score has an impact on the GC and thinks Izagirre is still 13th. Magnus had to correct him telling him that, not, he is not 13th but leading the GC :shock:

    Break has split into 2, with Ulissi, Kiserlovski, Rebellin, Santaromita, Konig, Atapuma and De Greef in the first group. About 2 minutes advantage left. 35 km or so to go.

    This really sums up the awfulness of CK.

    The group ahead is 9 riders. The chasing peloton is about 30 riders. Not sure whether there are still remainders of the original 32 rider breakaway left in between.

    Beautiful mountain scenery here

    21% climb! Nice. Break back to 9 riders

    Peloton 1 minute behind, very small now, 15 to 20 riders I'd say. Cannondale chasing for Basso. 13 km to go

    The nine riders - Santaromita, Kiserlovski, Konig, Howes, Atapuma, Golas, Ulissi, Cheng, and De Weert.

    Forgot Chernetski - that makes 10.

    Wow Riblon attacking once again from a long way out. The rest of the GC bunch didn't react to it either.

    situation: Atapuma and Katusha guy at front. other 7 of break plus Riblon who bridged behind. Then peloton. All very close

    It's really really close. Maybe the leading pair can hold on but it looks like GC will come back together.

    Still, they are so close in GC a decent attack from someone could grab the leaders jersey at the end of the day.

    hah, I start typing this and Riblon attacks again out of the break!

    Last 3 km. Looks like it could all come together and then explode into bits and pieces

    Say what you want about the broadcast, but we've really had some exciting racing in the last 10ks the last few days!

    Riblon catches the leading pair, then Atapuma attacks and they drop Chernetski

    Some guy is doing a bad impression of the pig carrying guy from the tour. He's carrying a cuddly toy.

    Great performance from both Atapuma and Riblon.

    Another nice stage.
