    Dennis cracks TGH!

    Well, there was a gap on one of the hairpins... Not sure about cracking necessarily.

    Kelderman is back on.
    Dennis had to slow

  • This is such a great climb
  • Keldermann falls off again. Don't think he's coming back this time.

    Kelderman needs to pace it within himself and not lose too much time. If he goes too deep he could crack completely.

    If he can keep it to a minute he can get back on...maybe

    When I rode it there had been snow the previous day, and it was clear, sunny and stunning. And really cold at the top.

    After a week of riding in the Dolomites, a steady 25km at 8% feels relatively straightforward. I can't imagine racing up it.

    Kelderman still riding well, plenty of time for him

    he is. Riding his own rhythm doesnt look to be popping (yet)

  • Another 10 minutes to the top.
    Gaps starting to look significant.

    He's weighed down by that loo chain around his neck.

    He just has to sit on the back of Tao and outsprint for the bonuses while protecting Kelderman.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.
