    38 seconds now the gap - Rolland will fancy his chances here.

    I don't trust the timekeeping at all.

    Rolland gains time on the descents but doesn't seem to make up much on the climbs.

    Tell you what, the peloton are not going to be far behind Arredondo at the end. This could be a nailbiter.

    Thank f*** for Arredondo and Rolland. 30 riders big peloton softpedalling up two mountains..

    Arredondo's pedalling is not very fluid at all now. I think he's running out of energy rapidly.

    AAAAAAAH COME ON ARREDONDO.

    That GC group is a bunch of defensive losers.

    My money's on the winner coming from the peloton.

    Arredondo almost caught.

    Just as Rolland catches Arredondo the first moves in the GC group start to come.

    I agree - the attacks are about to come. What a stage!

    I think there's a slight headwind out there. Only excuse for such a poor show from the favorites.

    One thing is for sure - Contador would not be riding wheels. Morabito on the front FFS.

    Rolland's caught him but he can't drop him at the moment. Come on bulldog!

    Yup, I reckon an attack from the GC group about 2km might bridge the gap

    Huge respect to Arredonodo - what heart and bravery and big points to Rolland - always up for a long range attack.

    J-Rod watches. And weeps. Pathetic GC effort.

    One day racer (albeit a huge talent) wins a multi mountain stage. WTF.
