The Giro, my favourite tour of the year is only 2 weeks....

['Dale]

Really hope Siutsou can take this for DiD' ????????????????????????

[Bonus]

Might be some chances worth taking on the last descent . . . . ;-)

['Dale]

25km remaining from 210km

 

And now Atapuma has attacked and gone clear.

['Dale]

Nibali's group has 15 seconds on Valverde.

????

['Dale]

Valverde and Amador are trading turns but they're losing time. It looks like, at this stage, as though Nibali is riding into the pink jersey. Still 25km to go though.

[Bonus]

30 secs now.

['Dale]

Still such a way to go

And Nibbles descends like a cycling god ????

[Bonus]

touching on a minute . . . .

[Bonus]

23 km to go. This is exciting.

['Dale]

Kruijswijk impresses

Wow

Chaves too

['Dale]

????

The time gaps today are going to be huge. Kruijswijk and Chaves has about 10 seconds on Nibali but there's still a long way to go on the climb.

[Bonus]

Nibs a minute and a half in front of Valverde and a minute and a half behind the leader!

['Dale]

Chaves and Kruijswijk are working well together and they could be racing for the stage win at this rate.

['Dale]

Zakarin fights on bravely

Armador too

But the head of the race is far up the mountain

[Cav']

Incredible racing. And it's not over yet!

['Dale]

BMC, with their humongous budget, would want some glory today hey
