I thought Galibier was out and that the decision was all about Col du Mont Cenis  39

There are still avalanche's on Galibier, so I doubt they will be clearing it in time.

Looks like RCS haven't decided yet, even if the French authorities have.

Update from RCS: Decision about Galibier to be made before 20 pm. French autorities working to remove the snow. http://www.pedalierweb.es/antBuspre.asp?cod=2979&nombre=2979&prt=1 … #Giro

Looks like they may have taken today's other climb out as well.

Yeah, chose the wrong two stages to try to pick for the break - never mind! Having said that, Weening got in the break today and then crashed, so I'll never know whether that would have been a good pick or not...

Garzelli was targeting today for a win. Wonder whether the route change has altered that.

Glad I saved my transfers for this morning. I was wondering whether to bring in Pirazzi, but there's not enough mountain points available now (cue him winning the stage).

Uran
Evans
Nibali
Pozzovivo
Betancur
Santambrogio
Chalapud
Mourey
Gavazzi

Mmmm. I took him out for Niemiec and a ten point penalty - bit of a rush of blood I think

Well done sir, and that's the difference with everyone else- you squeezed in pozzovivo who looks good for top 5. I thought about taken 10 penalties and swap him with pirazzi last night, but thought the pirate would be in the break so not worthwhile- should have waited till this morn! Grrr

They've now cut Sestriere from today's route....although we're still expected to get the summit finish at Jefferau!!

So nobody thinks Scarponi might make a move, then?

Pretty annoyed they're planning on shortening tomorrow's stage, means my 50 penalty points probably weren't worth it and with one less mountain top finish its likely today with get crazy with lots of teams looking to get a summit finish stage win.

It's still taking in the Col Du Telegraph so it's not like it'll be a 50k Crit?

Looks like a lot of very very very similar teams today. The penalty points might decide it. All I'm saying is I have taken no penalty points (sorry enrique) and I 'm praying Gavazzi is not outside the time limit  17
