    Though Kelly is undoubtedly drawing on the idiosyncratic language and stream of conciousness of James Joyce.

    Sean Kelly is the Wizard of Oz.

    Meanwhile, is this break staying away or do the GC boys want to scratch each other's eyes out?

    A Quintana mechanical would be interesting.

    Just drink a few Duvels and hit the buttons randomly.

    That'll be £3.99 from iTunes.

    Arredondo and Cataldo off the front of the break going for the KOM points, 2nd cat climb...


    And Arredondo takes it.

    Arredondo is so good. Doing a great job with his KOM lead. Glad Cataldo is getting in the mix.

    (until Basso falls off the pace)
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    Quintana looks such a t*t in that pink outfit.

    Since when was the leader's jersey not enough?

    Remember when Cipo used to get fined for this sort of thing?

    Looks like Basso, Duarte and de Gendt want a head start for the Panarotta, but there's around 20km before the start of the last climb.

    Now joined by Sella and Wellens.

    30km to go and the gap is 6'50". Movistar taking it easy on the descent.

    Duarte has to be favourite. Hoping for Cataldo or Wellens.

    Lake of Levico Terme looks fantastic.

    de Gendt first to make a move, right at the start of the climb. 15.5km to go. Europcar at the front of the peloton for Rolland.

    21" already for de Gendt. Main group about to start the climb.

    Basso bridging the gap to de Gendt with Wellans and the rest behind. Kaizer somewhere in between.

    I think if Horner had his Vuelta form he could have been a danger in this tour. Still time for Basso and Evans.

    de Gendt has 16" on the chase group, which is back together (for now).
