    He's not making this stick is he? He's only a got a couple of kms until it flattens out.

    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.


    That's correct.
    Tom Dumoulin is the bike in front of Nairo. Nibali is the bike behind Niro Q
    Just had to flick on Eurosport on my phone on the work wifi to check. Why they've missed out TD on the live tracking from the Quintana / Nibali group is anyone's guess. I keep watching it and thinking he's stepped off (either for a port-a-loo or more permanently!).

    TdF live tracking is much better.

    TD looking smooth and they are catching him. TVG/Landa driving on

    Quintana looking back and talking on the radio. Looks like he can't do this.

    He's now getting reeled in by the GC group.

    Nibbles has a nibble but Meneer Dump shuts it down.

    Quintana back in the Maglia Rosa group. Landa back with TJvG.

    Nibali attacks. Briefly.

    Quintana doesn't have the legs to make it stick.

    Yates dropped, boo.

    Nibali goes with Dumoulin covering, not really sure why he's bothered because the Shark was always going to fizzle out disappointingly.

    Dumoulin playing mind games, looking across at Quintana and doing a short sprint, seeing if he can keep up

    Tom now shouting back to him "your turn in the front" !

    Maybe this why Tom D stopped the other day. He knew he had plenty of time, so why not ride in comfort.

    Still no sign of TD on the live tracker. Maybe it fell off.

    The way he's just let everyone else go and is taunting Quintana is quite incredible. So calm and collected.

    Has Landa got his race brain on today?

    Nibali and Quintana must be sacrificing their GC lead for this cat and mouse.

    I know the gradients aren't aggressive but NQ should be bossing this encounter.
