And GoG thought this was going to be boring...

 

:blush: :) - Missed the stage yesterday but got it on PVR, so I'll watch today some time. Sounds like it was a good day out.

He is losing a few seconds on every stage.

In contrast, Valverde is actively chipping away at Nibbles lead. I think a podium is the best Basso can aim for.

Yip - you are right, a podium at best, but even then if he does not make a move soon that is in danger.

 

I think Nibs will do it.

Valverde is very motivated, home tour and he is still carrying excellent form from the tour.

 

I think its going to be a Valverde / Nibali duel, I like both, but I would really like to see Valverde take a grand tour.
