Voeckler moves back to the team car for some food. He is given a gel, which he makes very clear he does not want!

The chasing peloton are now going up the penultimate climb of the day, the Ghisallo. It's quite steep at the start, max 14% but then has a bit of a respite after 4km. Then it kicks back up to 9.5% at the top.

This is the sixth time Voeckler has ridden this race, but to date he has only finished once.

Good crowds here alongside the road, cheering the Frenchman on.

Zabriskie on hanging up his wheels in an announcement today:

 

"It's been an interesting 13 years. But there's a time for everybody, nothing lasts for ever, even cold November rain…."

Juan Antonio Flecha has also climbed off. Reports are that this could have been his last race too.

Rui Costa led this race last year of course. With 14km to go he was 25 seconds clear of the pack.
