    Rosa alone now, he might just make it.

    He closes the gap just before the summit. Good ride, wonder if he'll pay for that effort later.

    Tricky descent off the Selvino, down the valley road for 15 kms then this;

    That road off the Selvino :shock:

    Uran to save Cannondale's year?
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    I wonder who is the best.......or perhaps least worst sprinter of these 4?

    Nothing against Rigo but I don't want to see those shades winning

    ?? They're a minute up the road and the chasers are attacking each other now. Not going to get that gap back in 10k

    The time gaps shown were all over the place, and Kirby was calling that out in fairness

    Chaves is having a really good late season.

    I love him. Would be delighted to see him win this, but would be happy with Uran too

    Front four still working really well together. Can't see anyone else joining them now. 5km to go.

    I think what they're showing now is right - around a minute back for the chasers, no chance now

    Hope someone attacks on this climb and wins it solo. Hope it's Chaves.

    Hope Uran's sprint has improved since London 2012

    Chaves from Rosa right at the line with Uran 3rd.

    Perfectly played by Chaves, didn't think he was going to get past either of them for a few seconds
