Good luck

[Cav']

Quintaro has dropped Boasson Hagen and takes fourth on that climb. They're all going to get swallowed up byt the peloton soon.

[Cav']

Arredondo has managed to gain some time on the peloton one this descent. They cross the KOM line almost 2 minutes back.

[Cav']

This descent is going to be a tense one for the favourites. It's very narrow and very technical. It would be easy to come off the road, so they will all have to be very careful

[Cav']

Arredondo continues to extend his advantage as he comes off the descent. He has 2:05 on the peloton.
