    Can't watch this at work. Is he having a Dumoulin?

    Not having it.

    It sucks to lose but when did descending properly become less important?

    NIbali was 1' 43" behind Chaves at the start of the day, only 16" between them for now

    Nibali doing a fair impression of Lazarus.
    Similar to Aru's regeneration, last year.
    Could be just a few seconds between the podium 3 at the end.

    Come on Nibs. For some unknown reason I put the princely sum of £1 on him for the stage today.

    Hopefully Chaves and Nieve can work together and salvage this.

    They're losing time steadily, could be over a minute back by the end at this rate

    Proper old skool time gaps!

    Nibbles looking smooth, all that Ketogenic diet you know!

    Why? Not like he's putting minutes into Chaves?

    He's tried and tested over 3 week tours. The others not so much.

    Maybe he changed his crank length back last night.

    (that's assuming the gaps I've been seeing are accurate...)

    Well, like Cancellara, it can be hard to love Nibali sometimes but that is pretty epic!
