    big crowds for that Me thinks

    I guess they are planning to use the same side both times?

    Be quite fun if they all had to do a U turn and the bottom and head back up the way they'd just come down. The grupetto would have to descend whilst the goats are climbing :shock: :shock: :D

    More than two ways up though isn't there?

    Masnada and Conti go clear by 35 seconds. Conti trying to get Masnada to do all the work and getting an earful, so moves through to do a little bit.

    Masnada should have attacked 50kms earlier. So far Conti has managed one five second pull.

    Gap out to over 7 and a half minutes for the bunch.
    They need to be careful. Conti is no Jens Heppner.

    Masnada finished 26th last year at the age of 24. Not sure a 7 mins head start is sensible from the others.

    . The others in the break re gaining time too. The movistar riders are dangerous assets to let into the gc

    Amador has been top ten twice in the Giro GC. He'll be 2 minutes ahead of Roglic if the situation stays like this.

    Actually he was 5 mins behind at the start of the day, so not that bad.

    Exactly to all of the above.
    Madouas was up there in the big Ardennes classics, too.
    He'll be up by 4 minutes.
    Gap heading towards the 8 minute mark.

    7 43. Jumbo playing it cool. The concern is not taking back the time but how those guys can shape the race.
