    Quintana killing them. Hesjedal showing people how to reach into the pain cave.

    Where are the idiots who thought Quintana was overrated? And he is not even well. If he was in Sky he would not even be riding.

    Wonder if Quintana will give Ryder the stage if he can work with him to the end to build the gap

    Maybe Wilco is as stupid as me?

    It's like Ryder hasn't read the script. He's looked finished for the last 15-20km but whenever the camera cuts back he's still there.

    Would love it if Hejsedal has been doing the 'rope-a-dope' and goes on to win it.

    Great ride by Hesjedal and although I've never been a fan of Rolland I have admit he's been excellent value this Giro and I at least own him respect

    OPQS fail today really tbh. Uran very isolated

    Would like to see Henao hang on with pink jersey group until the finish

    Looking at this Quintana should be gifting Hesjedal this stage for the pulls on the flat

    Is the correct answer. Naro will gift him this one.

    Suddenly Ryder looks like he's leading out a sprint...

    If Ryder can hang on I would imagine so. Quintana will do the towing up the remaining climb but I doubt he'll slow down for Ryder if he can't hang.

    If he can stick with him at least, it's meant to be pretty steep in the last k, can't see Quintana waiting if Ryder can't keep up there!

    Kelderman is going well, despite being Dutch and this being the 3rd week of a GT.
