    Stumps

    This is a big chance for the climbers and GC to rest their aching legs and let the sprinters have some fun, mind you Garmin & Hesjedal will need to keep an eye on things but as GT says Sky will probably help out to bring it all back together for a sprint.

    Now who do i put in and who to leave šŸ˜•

    Quote:Rabottini (Franese)

    Rabottini (Franese) tries his luck on the uphill. He can’t get away significantly but a few other riders have gone, too. It’s Joaquim Rodriguez!

    He has a teammate with him, Vicioso we think.

    Hope this sticks!

    Giro have confirmed raining at finish. Pozzovivo probably knew that already – apparently when not on the bike, he’s either playing the piano or dabbling in amateur meteorology.

    I love background like that šŸ˜‰

    Italian weather forecast is indicating a high risk of showers for Frosinone in the afternoon

    Quote:Finally, a trio of

    Finally, a trio of riders has gotten away: Pierre Cazaux (Euskaltel), Brian Bulgac (Lotto-Belisol) and Martijn Keizer (Vacansoleil). They have build up a 3’30” lead over the bunch, which lets them get up the road.

    But no KoM points on offer and (I think) only one sprint so not many points to be had from those riders.

    šŸ˜€ Had Goss anyways so have both Goss and Cav for a good day of points, then drop them both for GC contenders! šŸ˜‰

    Gotta get my 2nd in South West back X( which would make me the top premium player in South West B-)

    But as i sit here thnking about it, the tight bend 300m from the end would be ideal for Jrod to steal 10 secs and take the Pink Jersey…………. :O :/
