    Time check - Kruijswijk currently 1'30" down on Chaves/Nibali.

    Shortly to be joined by Valverde group though and they're chasing hard.

    The first shots of Zakarin's bike looked like it was missing a wheel

    Brian Smith says Kruiswijk is behind Valverde group, which is 35s behind Nibbles

    twitter reports (god knows where they re coming from) saying Zakarin can recognise DS so sounds like he's all good. No idea how he went off there...

    Just turned from Danish tv to Britih Eurosport.

    The British commentators seriously miss absolutely everything that goes around them.

    Kruijswijk injured or just shaken up? I guess we'll find out on the climb.

    Time gaps seem to have changed a hell of a lot suddenly, Valverde about to catch Nibs/Chaves?? And only 40s to Kruijswijk??

    OK, I think someone's accidentally hooked up a random number generator to the time gap display.

    once Valverde gets to Nibs then Nibs will stop pulling.

    I would imagine the Dutch lottery has just become very interested in funding Luxembergse time triallers...

    More Giro controversy about a crash or bad weather being used to decide the race...

    Jumbo will be trying to invoke the bad weather protocol.

    Kruijswijk is looking alright - putting in some big pulls.

    If the time gaps are to be believed (dubious) then he's only lost about 1'30" at the moment.

    the gap has been anywhere from 30s to 2 minutes, I've no idea what it actually is.
