    OPQS lowered the pace to let the riders who fell come back hence why this gap has gone up. Different class.

    I think the riders think a lot less about appearing 'classy' and more about the business of racing than some of us would like to believe.

    So the last GC plan for Sky goes out the window. They need to try a lot harder to get something out of this Giro as so far they have done nothing of note.

    Seb Henao - neo-pro, Colombian. Sky's best placed rider, 32mins behind.

    siutsou now confirmed as abandon. That crash earlier did a CB.
    (Dan LLoyd must be ahead of the rr)

    Going to be keeping an eye on Pozzo today to see if I can see him breathe or break a pain face. Menchov-like.

    OGE must only paid their hotel bills for the first 2 weeks.
    Heroes to zeros in the space of a few days at this Giro.

    Any other teams worth a troll, atm, FF?

    Apart from the big pothole. But I agree, I'd like to have a crack at it myself.

    EBH splitting the break on the descent. Dropped his teammate I think.

    Troll? Dont bother dredging up your rubbish like last time, just watch the cycling.

    OGE - total boss in this Giro. They could all pull out now and leave successful. Dont like OGE but respect for their performance and spirit this Giro.

    Lucky the scenery is good. If some top 20 or so GC riders dont give it a go on this climb, the stage is likely to be a failure.

    I'm not keen on Rolland, but can't deny he's always up for giving it a go from long distance.

    They just let Rolland go off the front slowly with a teammate towing him up. Odd.
