i think all the GC men were to scared by this stage to attack yesterday, im realy hoping to see sum bold moves, wheather they come from astana, or are to try and break astana i dont care. does any one think sella and rujuno will be able to go up the road again today?
Strange, interesting race this year.
I continue to hope that Simoni will go for broke. Let's wait and see.

Yes! Contador was dropped on the Giau, but with a group of others managed to make his way back up to the leaders. I don't think he'll be dropped on the next climb as it's short, and not very steep but that spells trouble for him come the final climb of the day. Di Luca looking good, as do Menchov and Ricco.
Edit: Oh and Sella is a legend! 35 mountain points and counting so far today.

Yea, Sella is amazing.Eldrack said:
Contadope not looking so good today. Ricco looking good so far. Simoni looked a little weak on Giau. No lambs today.
Kloden and Leipheimer have both been shelled. Contador is suffering. Maybe they where at the beach? Either that or they're going to get their blood bags on the next rest day and destroy the last three stages, which, lets be honest, would be interesting to watch.
Still, the fact that LPR has three people in the front group whilst Kloden is suffering behind makes me ever so slightly suspicious.

Sella passes first at the summit. More king of the mountain points.
No surprises with regards to the LPR vis-a-vis Astana doping - all is based on the team sponsor's interest... tour or Giro... that explains who is doping at their maximum.

Mamma mia, about 10 degrees centigrade, wet roads, and Nibali catching the three out front with a heck of a downhill run. That is downhilling! I am fascinated and terrorised.
Bad crash by Piepoli on the downhill. Quickstep team car is helping him. He is by the side of the road and not moving. Sitting up.
Bad for Ricco'.
Sella attacks! Off the front alone again!
Update: Piepoli has gotten in the race ambulance. Not clear if he is abandoning yet.

Did they show the crash? I just saw him sitting by the side, clearly hurt somehow.Powerful Pete said:
There are still people skiing on some of the slopes. Should be quite chilly.
He didn't look too good earlier today either. We will see. He is near the front now.limerickman said:
Great scenery on the last climb. What sort of dope is Sella on? He's off on his own again for the last climb.
