Nibali had his porridge this morning
It's interesting that the racing is looking a lot more 'human' than the Giro - riders who burned themselves out on the final climb yesterday are struggling today, while those who kept a bit in reserve yesterday are looking fresher today. Plus we know that Nibali thrives in grim conditions.
Fantastic racing. Great to see Yates and Benoot up there again as well.
Is there any limit to what Benoot can do? If you had asked me after the Flanders Classics I would have said, this guy is made for the Flemish Ardennes stuff...but now he's actually showing he can handle the "real" Ardennes stuff as well.
I guess he fits better as a "Van Avermaet type"
Valverde looked human too - some achievement
It'll be interesting to see who has something left, tomorrow and Sunday.

So far this is probably been my fave race of the year and I thought the Giro was going to take some beating. The missus is away for the weekend so it's morning ride's and then plop myself in front of the TV for the live coverage. Heaven.

Nasty wasn't it. After his amazing descent the day before it was such a shame to see him slide over like that.

Was it Bardet who crashed in the TdF twice 2 years ago? One of them was in the TT??

I switched the highlights on yesterday and thought 'blinking hell! how did that break get away?' They wasn't any explanation or replay,did the coverage go down (weather?) for a bit?
