Landa, meanwhile, has been caught and dropped. Not sure Quintana will make a move today. He might be content to see Amador simply move up on GC in order to use him later on in the race. Time will tell.

 

The juice from Sky is not as good as the juice at Astana

    That move is closed down and Rui Costa goes with De Plus on his wheel. Rolland is chasing and should make it to the leaders. 

     

  2. 16:23:52 CEST

    Rojas is done and De Plus attacks from the break. 

     

  3. 16:22:44 CEST

    Rolland and Cataldo look twitchy. They're waiting to pounce and make a move from the lead break. 

     

  4. 16:22:05 CEST

    Steve Morabito, whose surname is the press room password for WIFI at the Tour of Romandie, takes over at the front of the peloton. Rojas, meanwhile, is giving it everything for Amador and in theory Quintana.

    Roy sits up having done a job for Pinot at the front of the peloton. 30km to go.

    The gap is at 2'45 as we take on the second descent that forms part of this second category climb. Dumoulin still has two men with him as Quintana peeks his head into the wind to see what the situation is. Up ahead and Rojas lifts the pace for the break.

     

  7. 16:17:57 CEST

    Herrada takes a huge turn at the front of the break and the peels off, his job done for the day. A few more riders have been dropped too. Anton is one of them.

  1. Hermans is doing all the chasing in the second group. He said in the winter that he didn't want to target GC in a Grand Tour. Not sure he has much choice now given van Garderen's form.

    The three leaders have a decent gap at the moment and they're all working. No sign of Amador at the moment as Astana try and bring the leading three riders back.

     

  3. 16:25:47 CEST

    Dumoulin has just one teammate left but we're not far from the top as Rui Costa, Rolland and De Plus link up. They've 3km to go until they reach the summit. This is the hardest part of the climb.

    Thomas is there, Dumoulin, Pinot, Nibali, Quintana are all there in the maglia rosa group as the road continues to rise up. 

     

  2. 16:30:08 CEST

    Huge acceleration from the peloton with 26km to go as Nibali senses this is the time to make a move. Up ahead and Rolland has attacked having been brought back briefly. 

     

  3. 16:29:21 CEST

    Dumoulin almost caught out as Amador has attacked from the second group. The race has exploded.

Maybe Laanda going back to give Thomas a bottle?

And Thomas going back to give the guys in the grupeto a bottle.

 

I have no idea how he was able to convince anyone he is a GT GC contender.
