    No other riders in the photo but 0s time gap?
    Because Majka in 3rd place is my guess. Or deceptive photo.

    Dunno about the HD, afx237vi. I use eurosport "player".

    Pozzovivo in 6th? Well, done little lad!

    Hopefully the TV coverage is improved for today's stage - lack of distance to go was very unhelpful.

    Seems Nibs decided to stretch himself today. Was in the big breakaway for most of the day, and now out front in a 3 man attack.

    He's just doing it to spite me for changing my PTP pick from him to Pozzovivo.

    Watching Nibali descend reminded me of this from the Giro:

    Did we ever find out who the mystery rider was?

    Yeah he was with them but they dropped him on the climb. Preidler and Paterski both got dropped at a similar time too but made it back up so I don't think they've been pushing the pace too much since Nibs dropped off. Might see him make it back to them, but the production is really terrible at giving time gaps.

    The lack of regular time gaps is killing me. I have to presume Nibali fell into a wormhole.

    leaders reaching the foot of the 13k climb to the finish. Doesn't look like they'll stay away though imo, maybe someone will make a great attack from them but the peloton is motoring.

    I'm loving the Magnus and Carlton banter... Not really bothered about race information, just think they work well together

    Riblon off, with Rohregger. 8.4km to go.

    This coverage is garbage. Is Riblon the only rider in the race?

    Riblon within the last km, great stage win and might be enough for the overall jersey today.

    Great ride again for Riblon, but what a disappointing stage overall.

    just turned on the coverage and thought I was watching the TdF stage again - very similar with the car round the hairpin and him trying to get it out the way etc... he looks very good on the climbs!

    Put the goddam clock back up.

    CAS to take the jersey?

    Edit: Assuming he was one of the Saxos in about 4th or so.

    Majka was there. But god knows with that coverage who else was.

    So UCI want to make cycling better for TV audiences by introducing overly complicated and contrived 'attractivity' contests - how about only including races on the World Tour which can guarantee a decent level of TV coverage? Yet again that was absolutely abysmal from the host broadcaster.

    Henao, Majka, Sorensen, and Weening were all over in similar times so I'm guessing one of them will take the leaders jersey?

    I seem to recall last year there was much confusion over who won a few of the sprint stages as no close up of numbers were shown, even afterwards.

    I was just confused.........I had no idea who was where and how far behind Riblon they were.........Looks like Eurosport has just finished and I don't even know who is leading. Very strange coverage.

    The host broadcaster is just pretty useless sadly.

    Got to the foot of the climb with an update that the peloton had apparently (who knows if their times were even accurate) closed a 4min gap to 2mins in the space of about 5k, and then we don't get another time update till almost halfway through a 13k climb...

    I think Majka goes into the lead, then Henao, then Weening 3 seconds back, then CAS 5 seconds.
