    Anybody heard Nieve's name mentioned once in commentary the entire Tour? Is he in Nibali's group?

    So what's Tinkoff's plan B? AFAIK next highest GC riders are Rogers 18mins down and Roche 19mins down... guess they'll be going for stages then...
    Plan B got busted by the Bio Passport a week or so before the Tour.

    And his replacement has been sulking in the gruppetto.

    Where's he for the white jersey?

    Kwia's surely going to go backwards as soon as they hit the steep stuff here. Visconti not far behind them.
