    Even though he has a reasonable lead, if Kruijswijk is feeling good he should make the most of today.

    More chance of Chaves catching Nibs than him getting back to the lead group.

    Chaves and Majka exchange words and in all likelihood agree to work together and keep the pressure firmly on Nibali, caught out behind.

    That's somehow both harsh on Nibali and Dimension Data...

    Valverde and Majka could overtake Nibali in the GC today. He's well over 1 min behind the leaders now. 2.5km to go, Chaves group 30" back.
