    A saxo (Rogers?) trying to form a break. Sagan at the back of the mini break.

    This two man attack is very fashionable in recent years. Rolland goes with lead out man.

    Sky were previously sitting on the front, but they now appear to be chasing. Break is peloton sized.

    I keep thinking I'm watching highlights. The usual suspects off the front already.

    Can see 2 Movistar in break but only one of their riders protecting Quintana and Valverde

    Always good to have a bit of weather shake it up.

    Big boys out in force. Contador smashes it. Valverde on it. Nibali soaring.

    It's sunny now.

    Bertie tried a move, AleSANdro Valverde also tried one and now Nibbles is on the move.

    And now some ice overhanging rocks.

    Nibbles in the break now.

    Interesting...

    Actually it only has 15" so not that interesting.

    The twitterati would go nuts at my current Garmin game on PCM12... Tyler Farrar with 9 wins by the end of Paris Nice, Michael Kreder takes the pink jersey in the Giro when an audacious attack with 3km to go in stage 1 nets him 50s plus time bonuses... Holds it through the first 2 mountain stages. Not Normal.

    Might have pulled the gap back out a bit now.

    Yep, back to 15s.

    Interesting split. Should hurt Sky a bit which might change things later.

    Lets do this. Roche a gonner now. Poels out the saddle trying. G on the wheel. No one left.

    Keep the pressure on.
