    Dumoulin comes in first despite possibly going the long way round a roundabout close to the end.

    If Spilak can keep up that pace he might stand a shot at the podium, only 22 seconds back at the start of the day.

    Then again Kwiatkowski is steaming along.

    Kwiatkowski only 13secs down on Martin at first check.

    Valverde apparently +40 at the first split. In a lot of trouble.

    Break up is awful.

    Valverde is 41s down at intermediate. No info on Evans or Cunego.

    Pinot finishes 6th, 1.25 off the pace of Martin.

    Bertie 2nd fastest at the first split. We can call the #1 done and dusted.

    Excellent stuff given the second climb is a lot harder.

    Spanish TV don't want people to see how close the motorbikes are in front of Contador and Valverde.

    At that split, Contador was 7secs off Tony's time. Dumoulin was 2secs faster than Martin on the 2nd half.
