    are you using the iPad eurosport player? That keeps happening to me, it seems a pretty flaky service at times.

    Don’t worry too much robacairns, I suspect Henao will crack long before the end which is why I brought in De Gendt.

    I know – kicking myself. I was debating between Inxtausti and De Gendt. I should have put more stock in the ITT and gone with De Gendt.

    Quote:Attack: Dario Cataldo

    Attack: Dario Cataldo of Omega Pharma-QuickStep jumps off the front of the main pack. He’s only four minutes down in the GC, which is interesting.

    I just saw Guardini coming across the line waving to everyone and looking like he’s just enjoying the attention, I think he’ll be timed out though

    Oh, and Guardini is 3 minutes
    Oh, and Guardini is 3 minutes behind the Cavendish/Intxausti group and going backwards fast. If he finishes inside the time limit he’s nailed on last man but I can see him getting lapped before the end 👿

    I have the two leaders in the road and they just got me some points on a climb, but i’ve just switched on

    Pirazzi’s been getting max KoM points all day, Tiralongo is way out the back, all four of your stars are in Basso’s ‘peloton’, Ulissi and Kristoff are not anywhere interesting as they’ve not been mentioned all day.

    Noooo! He was one of my differentiators today. I had the choice of mimicking the second place team with Henao, but thought the Inxtausti vs Henao matchup was worth going for. Team leader who has been steady so far vs young rider possibly running out of gas and with potential duty helping Uran. Of course it’s not paying off. That could be my new bike sliding back down the road – thanks Benat. :(

    This is why I’m glad I’m not near the top of the standings. It would be tough to have that much on the line!

    Update:
    Quote:Liquigas still
    Update:

    Liquigas still drive the pace with seven lime green riders on the front of the bunch. The 16 leaders have 4:10 on the pack, with the Cavendish-Intxausti group 8:20 off the pace.

    Pirazzi over the top first again, just before Rohregger. They look to be the only two going for the KoM
