    Gap down to 2:33 with 20k to go. Rest of the original breakaway still in between.

    That Pinerello does look rather nice...

    Shame for the two up front. Gap tumbling. Nieve getting very little help from Kadri.

    JJR DQ'd?!?

    Looks like Kadri might be up there to help out later on and may not be putting in 100% to the break...mind you 2 vs 150 is also a factor...

    They've just shown a graphic saying the work on the front was 60/40 between them over the last 10 minutes

    Onto the climb, Nieve and Kadri have 1.5 minutes

    Majka is there...he needs to ride himself inside out to keep the polkas.

    If Nibali wins, Majka has to be 6th or better.
    If Nibali comes second, Majka has to be 8th or better.
    If Nibali comes third, Majka has to be 10th or higher.
    If Nibali comes fourth or less, Majka wins.

    Can he still ride to the finish or does he have to get off and climb into a car?

    He's been thrown off. That means they've pushed him down the side of the mountain.

    Nieve accelerates with 12km to race and is now solo. 1.18 to a charging Astana. GO NIEVE!!!

    Nieve goes solo. I'd love to see him get it but I can't see it.

    It was my attempt to both support Peanut and tell him he should be wearing blue shorts rather than the blanched peanut look he's gone for.

    I think I'll bust out my new cow later.
