I wish Sean Kelly would stop calling the team Michelin-Scott.

You leave Sean alone,would you prefer he was still calling them Ulrika green edge ?

Froome down but back on.

 

[Bollo]

Looked like he caught a white line and the bike went from under.

 

[smutchin]

Froome doesn’t look happy.

Hope the break stays clear.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Froome really doesn't like Italian rain!

 

[smutchin]

Shame for Bouwman but chapeau to Carapaz.

Pinot gets a few bonus seconds to leapfrog Pozzo on GC too.

 

[smutchin]

Froome really doesn't like Italian rain!

Something he has in common with Wiggo.

 

[Bollo]

That was a very entertaining last 10k. That fall really seemed to have spooked Froome, but I’m surprised Pinot didn’t try to break earlier.

Didn't stop him to get back with the others though

So, they're on the first part of the big final double climb. 36km to go. Astana have decided they're not letting the break take the stage and the pace of the peloton has suddenly cranked up several notches - gap to the break is down from nearly 8 mins to under 5 1/2 mins in the space of a few kilometres.

It's going to be an action packed finale.

 

[roadrash]

that gap certainly is falling fast, windy at the top, hope we don't lose pictures

 

[smutchin]

Gap is still falling but the chase seems to have eased off a bit. Probably because they don't want to catch them too soon...

Shame. Hugh Carthy is looking good. Would have been nice to see him in with a chance of winning the stage.

Ooh, and even as I type this, Mitchelton-Scott have come to the front of the peloton and upped the pace again...

 

[roadrash]

gap gone under 3 mins

 

[Dave Davenport]

I want to ride that road.
