Giro d' Italia 2014

The Selle Italia service car is cool, or is that a referee's car?. New 3'series estate.

But think a Alfa Romeo 159 would be even better : being a The Giro, and the fact that it is the Selle Italia car.

The bunch has really strung out under the pace from Scinto's men. We're still a long way from the climb as the gap to the break drops and drops

Scinto has his team on the front yet again. Yes, they missed the break but they also have Matteo Rabottini within four minutes of the top ten.

Into the final 50km of action, the gap is ticking down and is now at 6'18.

Under six minutes and Cunego's shoulders have dropped. He knows that there's little to no chance of making it today.

Ryder Hesjedal is waiting for his team car and calling through on the radio. It doesnt look like a mechanical, just that he wants to have a catch up.

This is unfolding perfectly. We are going to see fireworks today. We will see the lightweight climbers do their thing. We will see the human cardiovascular system function at its absolute max in 30min time. This is why Dr Ferrari got involved. It is absolutely fascinating to see these mini gladiators go to the extreme of self inflicted human performance and suffering.

Glad i'm not the man supposed to make it count on the climb. Those gifappeltjies are gonna be negative tonight after working all day if he doesn't pull it off.

Funny I also call them gifappeltjies. I think they are riding for the TV or favours later on. Today is unlickely to be good for them.

What today needs is someone like RobertoLaiseka to come out of nowhere and take the stage from the favorites.

Tinkoff, BMC, Astana, Omega and Movistar, they're all bringing their leaders close to the front of the peloton as we head towards the foot of the climb.
