    Pellizotti has caught Viviani and Dekker on the descent which should help him on the flat section. Can’t help thinking he’ll be swallowed up once the GC battle begins on the final climb tho…

    I thought Astana were being a bit rash driving the pace and it’s backfired big time, they’ve been blown apart as soon as Sky hit the front and are really being shown up.

    Wiggins to take big time out of Niabli today?

    Looks like Pellizotti has designs on the stage today, he’s just attacked with his teammate Rosa, and his other teammate Rodriguez is out front. Hesjedal seems miles behind already…

    Break only has 5:23 at the minute, the peloton isn’t letting this one go away too far which is odd as I thought Astana would want to try and lose the jersey today and lighten Nibali’s load. Instead they seem intent on keeping this on a short leash and wearing themselves out.

    Wish I’d put Wiggins back in now, got an awful feeling that Astana have bitten off more than they can chew today (cue Nibali winning the stage by a minute).

    Millar & Dekker in the break. Maybe Hesjedal will try and bridge across later.

    I transferred Dekker out last night, so I hope he doesn’t score any points today.

    Didn’t pick anyone for the break, so glad to see none of the more popular guys (Rubiano, Rabottini etc) have made it in there. I suspect they will be waiting until later in the tour – today should be very much a GC day.

    Break of 13
    Break of 13 away:

    Daniele Bennati (Team Saxo-Tinkoff)
    Kenny Dehaes (Lotto Belisol)
    Elia Viviani (Cannondale Pro Cycling)
    Tiago Machado (RadioShack Leopard)
    Yaroslav Popovych (RadioShack Leopard)
    David Millar & Thomas Dekker (Garmin-Sharp)
    Maarten Tjallingii (Blanco Pro Cycling Team)
    Jackson Rodriguez (Androni Giocattoli)
    Serge Pauwels (Omega Pharma-Quick Step)
    Oscar Gatto (Vini Fantini-Selle Italia)
    Pim Ligthart (Vacansoleil-DCM Pro Cycling Team)
    Pavel Brutt (Katusha)

    Looks like a few sprinters in there for no particular reason although I suspect Viviani wants some sprint points (he seems to be targetting the points jersey).

    I assume from the fact that there are two Garmin riders in there that Hesjedal is going to try and go on a flyer because Dekker/Millar are not the riders you put in a break today if you’re targetting the stage win.

    I have no standard team as I’m all purist but if I had one I’d choose
    Nibali, Hesjedal, Scarponi, Kiserlovski , Santambrogio and Pellizotti (plus maybe Atapuma, Chalapud and Di Luca)
    for today.

    Gambled a bit there, removing evans for scarponi may well backfire, he’s been looking so strong. also if visconti goes on the break/mountain jersey, that will be costly- but i get 2 extra good italian options for today, got to have a go I’m so far behind!

    Kiserlovski could surprise today. He looked super strong on the wet hillier stages. 😕 😉
