    Bloody RAIN again. Lombardy is such a stunning region to cycle in as well...Poor Nibali he doesnt have a lot of luck lately.

    oh yes I forgot about this for a few days. Purito needs 2nd or 1st and he will get the World Ranking like last year. ..also won at this race.

    Purito is 80 points behind, with I believe 80 points for second today. If no more points were gained after today, how would ranking be decided? Purito attempted and gained points in a lot more events than Froome.

    Surely if no more points are gained then the ranking stays as is?

    If Purito were to get second, then he and Froome would have the same points. Who would win (if no more gained after today)?

    I'm no Machiavelli scholar, but were RAI just discussing whether Valverde held something in reserve at the World's last week to enhance his chances here? Purito will be chuffed, so to speak.

    Tommy was on the radio just now to make sure Asia was live before he attacked.

    Tommy V jumps the gap to the front group (Valverde, Quintana, Gasparotto and Santa) and rides straight past. Long way too go though

    Is there a low def crappy stream of this somewhere? I'm watching in HD but they seem to be focussing on slow-mos of Tommy V gurning. Not sure I kan take 50km of that....
