    Julich: It goes without saying that this is not good for Alberto. I did notice that he was attempting to eat a lot before the climb.

    He might have bonked. Could cars get through?

    What a climb full stop! Epic and beautiful.

    It would probably kill me, but I'd love to give this one a go.

    all not lost he has a good buffer and I'm sure Oleg is beasting the rest of the team with threats to tear up their contracts.

    Awful road, it really added a dimension to the climbing

    I'm not sure... there would be no excuse for bonking when that was the first climb of the day and he had his team with him on the flat for 100km++

    Only two left for Contador. Hope that if he gets a mechanical on the rough section there is a moto with a bike right there.

    Even with a Vuelta 09 Cadel-like delay he won't lose the Giro

    He could borrow a bike off another team, he's got 2 mins he can afford to give up.

    Turns out he's having a Paris Nice 09 Contador-like bonk

    Do Landa and Aru know that they're on the same team?

    Contador holding the gap steady on gentle descent here. Can't be that bad.

    Contador is a total pro he knows how to measure his effort in a crisis.

    Maybe it was the altitude rather than a bonk.

    Landa could drop back and help Aru since Aru is closer on GC.
