Anyone think the main break off gang in the Giro have done it deliberate to rub Vino's nose in it?
I am thinking so...
Kind of a show of silent protest to / about him

Could be!
There is a serious effort by Vino and co. to pull it back now, so there's a mini-MR group at about 13 minutes back, with the peloton even further back.
The break is going down to more like 30 now - not the final selection, but getting there. The weather is terrible and I can't see how a chase group can organise itself to catch this.

Ha ha - just a shame Cunego is left behind too - I like him (and he's in my fantasy team...)

I am loving the conversation Kelly and Harmon are having about the effects of the weather on the difficulty of eating energy bars!

Looks like the current GC peeps are making a concerted attack to make the time back...
Cant see them succeeding myself.

It's still over 12.30 with 20km to go. No way. The whole GC is going to be turned upside down... and in my book, David Arroyo Duran becomes the new race favourite.

Couldn't have happened to nicer teams though, eh?

From @cyclesport on twitter;
"the break got away when the bunch split on the first climb, then it started raining heavily on the descent, so everyone went to get their rain gear. By the time they were organised, there was a 10 minute gap. Astana and BMC had esponsibility to chase, but had riders off the back."
Sorry to see Evans caught out, but by god this will make for an interesting race, GC changes!

Still 12.30 with only 10km to go. Vino is toast.

Wiggins finished fourth, now that is a sign of intent to go for a GC place methinks...
Come On Wiggo!
