    So now you mustn't attack when the leader puts his hand up?
    Keep it up, in that case. :roll:

    It was a bumble bee so I really didn't want her to kill it. It has escaped to live another day. So poor pawly poes but a happy bee.

    Can't we have someone on who can speak English?

    Pretty difficult to know unless you have eyes in the back of your head.

    Maybe they should do it like the elimination race where riders have a light on their bars and they can only attack when the light is out...

    A moto with a dozen cornettos for the victims of valour, where's the harm in that?

    Less than 10km to go.
    Uphill finish.
    Dumoulin, Nibali and Quintana all together.

    Calm before the storm? Im waiting for the fireworks to start. Popcorns too far away from the tv.

    Looks like Landa is going to get the stage win. The GC group not catching him

    I suspect they're going to keep chipping away hoping he eventually blows up.

    The official giro live tracking web-page is crap. From what I can see there's Landa and Van Garderen up front, then +14 a group of four, then +32 a group of 10 (incl Nibali, Quintana, Yates etc) and then +1"07 theres another group, but whether or not TD is in there could be anyone's guess.

    The previous few days kinda suggest that won't happen though...

    That's correct.
    Tom Dumoulin is the bike in front of Nairo. Nibali is the bike behind Niro Q

    Nairo and Winner get a wiggle on with 6.3 to go.

    Doesn't look like Quintana has the legs this tour.
