    More teams chasing, but the gap is very slow to close.
    The odds starting to favour the breakaway.

    I fell asleep.

    Gaviria looks good in the maglia ciclamino.
    Nicest colour of the jerseys, I'd say.

    Yeah 12km with 2 mins 55 - I don't think it's coming back.

    Cor this is dull.
    The lack of ambition from teams without a real GC contender is staggering.
    Hatch trying hard to build tension when there isn't any.

    Wouldn't be the Giro without some serious snoozers.

    Trek not having much luck at the moment eh?

    And looks like Michael Woods, my PTP pick for today, came in best of the rest in 5th... every point counts etc. etc.

    Stuyven looks pretty gutted - he was unlucky not to get that I think.

    Dilier has been knocking on the door of a big win for a long time.

    I enjoyed the marshall on the finishing straight frantically waving the team cars off the course before the peloton caught up. He only just made it.

    That finish was visually quite satisfying with the symmetry between Stuyven and Dilier throwing their bikes from side to side

    He did look rather anxious waving the cars off the route (via the finishing straight camera). Later they showed the overhead, his anxiety was understandable
