'Dale Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Nibali moves up and takes the lead, with Amador trying to go with him. Movistar are trying to soften up the Italian before we get to the last climb.
'Dale Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Nieve is pulling out more time on the GC riders, and has 2'40 on the maglia rosa with 19.1km to go.
'Dale Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 So far, all the GC big guns togetherYou can throw a blanket over them all 18 kms to go with several chasing groups scattered around the final 18 kms Nieve continues to fight for the advantage and hopefully a much needed win for Team Sky
'Dale Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Final ascent starting for the Maglia RosaAnd he's dropped almost immediately It'll be about damage control for the young rider
'Dale Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Lovely racing Intense Nieve keeps plugging away on the 6km climb. His gap is 1'05 to Visconti and 2'08 to the maglia rosa.
'Dale Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Does Visconti has the watts to catch up with NieveAwesome racing 42 secs between them15 kms to go
'Dale Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Valverde was easily matched but then Nibali accelerated around a corner and he gains a small advantage but it's shut down by Lotto NL. And Zakarin has been dropped too!
'Dale Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Jungels is 20 seconds behind Nibali. So he's just holding onto pink. He needs to keep plugging away and then descent like a demon. He;s not getting any help from Hesjedal at the moment though.
'Dale Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 15km remaining from 170km Jungels goes passed Hesjedal and they should stay together and ride the descent to help each other.
'Dale Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 A few more riders, like Uran make it back to the Nibali group. As things stand then Amador should pull on pink at the end of the stage. Up the road Nieve has 40 seconds on Visconti.
'Dale Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 And Nibali attacks again but its matched by all the GC contenders for now. Uran is hanging on but Amador and Zakarin have been dropped again.
'Dale Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 NIeve goes over the top and Visconti is second. The gap between them is 50 seconds. Jungels is plunged into more trouble though as he continues to lose time.
'Dale Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Barring any unusual situation, Nieve all set for a stage win here
