    Aru goes too, with Majka on his wheel. Sky not looking bothered, just steady pace.

    Majka giving it some with Majka face on, gets a small gap on the others.

    Aru has Aru face on. Less mentioned the better.

    Lopez mechanical, or his egs dropped off. Caught by Landa.

    Froome dropped by peloton but fighting back. Or just doing his weird stuff.

    Surely he's the Hermanator?

    Very nicely done from Landa.

    Not sure quite what happened to Thomas - slipped a gear when the attack went, or got attacked when he slipped a gear?

    Not with Ben as a first name. We've not had much mod going on in the peloton since Wiggins retired.

    Apparently Kwia came in ahead of Caruso, and should be in 2nd.

    Updated standings, Kwia 1" behind.

    Also Benoot in a top 10, and young rider jersey. :shock: The guy's a machine.

    A km from the line.
    Is there an unluckier rider that GT in the peloton?
    Too far back to make it up in the ITT now, I reckon.

    With tomorrow being a classics stage it must be all in for Flower power, now.

    Loads of punctures on these roads. Aru, Uran and Nibali with wheel changes so far.
    Only 2 laps to the finish ( under 30kms)
