Giro Stage 8 - Foligno to Arezzo *Spoiler*
Thought I would get in early with this one. The Giro now heads for Tuscany and with some luck we will see some GC action, though this could be limited due to the ITT on Sunday.

We might see some attacks on the Alpe di Poti with around 20km to go. Sterrato on the profile = unsealed, gravel surface which will make the climbing more of a challenge.


Failing that, check out the small ramp just before the finish which could catch out a few riders and lead to some gaps opening up right at the end of the stage.

Which, if my normal predicting skills are on display, means carnage.
Hope the stage lives up to its potential.

I'm just hedging my bets.
The French have done well since the days of the so called "Common Market" which they now call Euro.
The Paris buses on Solid Rubber Tyres to run on "Pave".
Sorry to wander off topic but pictures like that remind us of bike riding in France.the old days.
The Strada is a novelty now but it used to be the norm.

Ironically, organisers decided that the road leading to the dirt track was too rough, so resurfaced it

He's done ok so far.
Brambilla in the lead by himself. 21km to go, 2m 55 gap to the favourite group (no Dumoulin in there). On the dirt climb.
like buses.
Brambilla is up the road, then the remnants of the break, then the Valverde/Nibali group at 2'40" and Dumoulin at 3'12".
Dumoulin is just coming over the climb - he's lost a lot of time.
Montaguti is chasing Brambilla.
Dumoulin has a teammate trying to ride him back on.
Dumoulin loses about a minute to the favourite group.
