    Landa looks like he's more comfortable than Aru.

    Contador 'gave' Antón the stage win on Zoncolan a few years ago. Surely Antón will give Contador a little help now. #giro

    Anton now drilling it for Contador. Gap down to 28 secs.

    VENGA VENGA VENGA

    Trofimov dropped

    Peloton in pieces

    Landa needs to drop Aru and do his own thing. Far better rider.

    The collaboration and favours are part of cycling culture and add to the spectacle for me.

    If Movistar want to work for Contador in return for stage wins, its up to Astana to offer a better deal.

    Landa not breathing yet. Kruijswijk is insanely good to hold these guys.

    Contador gap stuck at 27/30

    The gradient on this climb is unbelievable.

    Aru cracking. now. Bertie will get back and put more time in Aru. Ryder still thereabouts and could still pull this off yet if there is a re-grouping after the "Motorola" (as Kelly is calling it)!

    Bosh.

    That's why Contador is head & shoulders favourite.
