    Are we expecting Bora to move to the front of the peloton soon?

    Valverde messing the break about by refusing to put his nose in the wind.

    Attack from the Teglio if not from the Mortirolo

    You're right. They didn't need to. Astana doing it for them.

    Fairly typical of a GT.
    Astana come to the front because Nibali’s spot on GC is now under threat.

    Surely Nibali doesn't care about finishing in the lower reaches of the top ten. Could it be that they want to string the race out over the top, so Nibali can go clear on the descent?

    Ciccone left his legs on the climbs yesterday

    It's a twofer I guess ...but it is a bit mediocre

    Hugh Carthy pushes a fan - with that upper body strength I'm not sure the fan noticed.

    "peloton" - there's about 12 left.

    Carapaz has Sivakov only, someone trying to stay with Nibali seems likely to have a problem.

    Carapaz could get isolated here.

    Incredible how Porte punctured right at the top of the Mortirolo.
    His Giro luck has never wavered.

    Can't imagine Almeida is enjoying this.....

    He's done well to get back to the front group - he's not going to be sneaking up on anyone is he?
