Ah, so that's what happened to Aru!

Hard to see past the main contenders today, though they might let a breakaway go but they are not going to let each other go.

I'm banking on them biding their time and saving it for Blockhaus. There will be a few also-rans like Rolland who will see this as the opportunity to bag a stage win and maybe the GC contenders will let them have their moment.

Having said that, I can imagine Nibali attacking for the prestige of being in pink when the race visits his home town tomorrow and no one will let him go. And he's never been scared of taking the race lead early. Depends if he thinks his form is good enough to shake off Quintana. Pinot and Mollema might fancy it too. Maybe even Thomas. The final 200m are on a relatively flat and wide main road, so it could be a sprint finish between the GC contenders.

Rohan Dennis abandons after yesterdays crash.

More mountain points in the bag for Dimension Data - still none for the Dimension Data rider I picked for the fantasy league on the basis that I thought he would be in the breakaways in the early stages though... doh!

Damn rest days always confuse things.

 

[roadrash]

Especially after only three days racing.

Rohan Dennis abandons after yesterdays crash.

and that's the start of me heading down the table in the fantasy league. Dennis you are a useless nobber.

Especially after only three days racing.

I'd need a rest day after half of the 1st stage.

Is there a reason why the "alternative" streams have no sound?

Is there a reason why the "alternative" streams have no sound?

So we have the option of not listening to them

 

[smutchin]

Ready for the action to kick off...

What's Moreno's beef with Rosa?

 

[jarlrmai]

Is that a local delicacy?
