    Did anyone start the stopwatch on the GC group as they hit the bottom?

    Want Nibs to pop so we can have a close finish with Majka. Don't think it will happen, although Majka's only 29s down now.

    Apparently that was incorrect and it was 52s. Who knows with ITV.

    The irony of riders wheelsucking Valverde is rather delicious...
    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

    If Nibali wins then Majka has to finish 6th to keep the Polka Dots.

    Don't think the trio are going to take enough out of Valverde. Well, apart from the TVG
