    Reports that Evans and Pozzivivo are a minute down on the peloton....or a minute up. They probably don't know themselves.

    Do you not think that the whole sport is riddled with performance enhancing substances. the latest been a certain gas that they are trying to figure out what it is

    Please read the charter, speculating that certain riders are doping is not allowed. Also, it is very much off-topic right now.

    Anyone else notice the picture is unusually crisp and clear? Was expecting much more interference from the weather and mountains. Maybe it's because I'm watching on tv instead of usual laptop.

    Even the Mick Byrne wasn't that bad! They're on the Stelvio and it looks miserable. It's not the climbing that'll be the problem today, it's the descents.

    the picture is a lot better than I'd have expected (and I'm watching on an iPad) -might break up on the descent though... looking forward to it -maybe someone will take a risk or two...

    No way they can actually enforce a neutralized descent.

    If they do the motorbike thing then Cataldo's attack is going to disappear, De Gendt will probably get back on...

    It would he grossly unfair on Cataldo, no way they can stop him descending.
