Now it looks like the chase is slowing.....any idea who in the break is closest to gc and what the time diff is....how close do the bunch need to be for Hunter to get Pink?

A 7 rider green Liquigas train leading the peleton

 

Yeah, baby, yeah...

Liquigas did a helluva lot of work today... pity they did not have anyone in the break.

Farrar also abandoned...

 

He said yesterday, after a being dropped, he was "having an off-day..."

Today he crashed and has several lacerations to his hand.

 

So, is Rob The Hunter the Nr 1 sprinter now?

Could be an interesting trip back to the Orica-GreenEDGE hotel.

 

Er, uhm,

 

EDIT Impey's previous team was NetApp.

Awesome ride by Rubiano.

He'll remember this day for the rest of his cycling life.

Love it when a breakaway succeeds.

Great Stage, I thought it was the day for the breakaway and Chavez was superb, I was also very happy to see Scarponi and Kreuziger leading the gruppo up the climbs, however with the Maglia Rosa in Lampre's hands now they will consolidate and start to put contenders in the top 10 - I like their strategy so far.

 

Tomorrow and Sunday we will get a better idea, but so far I would say its - Scarponi - Check, Kreuziger - Check, Schleck - Check, Rodriguez - Check, Basso - Hmm, he is there or there about's but slipped down the gruppo very quickly on that brutal penultimate climb, he also didnt look convincing near the front and Agnoli and Szmyd were riding away from him too easily, he was struggling to hold the wheel.
