    Strangely, the Vuelta website has Nico leading the virtual classification, 11 seconds ahead of Chris Froome.

    Is Nibali going around the Vuelta on a motorbike?

    Mikel Nieve (#6) is in with the Dumoulin/Aru/Purito/Chavez/Valverde group.

    I'm considering setting up a Twitter account just to tell Carlton to shut up about him. It's really getting annoying now.

    Meanwhile, Froome is only 3/4 minutes back now? If he can maintain that, it's theoretically recoverable..

    I'd be amazed if Froome started tomorrow. He doesn't strike me as the sort of rider to carry on just for the hell of it.

    He cracked around the same time as Froome did. He looked to be really struggling. Not sure if he is ahead or behind Froome.

    Carlton's latest theory about Atapuma's disappearance will be that he has been abducted by aliens or something :rolleyes:

    That's fair enough - he has a chance to lead the GC. Landa might be able to help him up the road.

    Domoulin still with Chavez - hard to believe.

    Rodriquez has Moreno for company up front with Aru. Should be a great finish.

    He is doing incredibly well - leading the group with Valverde and Chavez and just dropped Quintana.

    Edit: Valverde dropped by him now

    Wonder where D Martin would be?

    As I don't have Eurosport I'm very gratefully watching live now on TG4. The commentary is certainly very different to C Kirby. My Irish is only ok but not much excitement from the TG4 crew, they were discussing if the riders had clinchers or tubs a minute ago.
    Any last climb will hopefully have some fireworks.

    Dropping like a stone when last we saw him. Dumoulin/chaves/valverde group sailed right by him.

    I like listening to them. It's like eavesdropping on a pair of auld lads down the pub having a chat about the race over a few pints.

    But if you wan't to know what's actually happening in the race, or get an analysis of the tactics, then they're useless.

    Moreno should probably have ridden his own race. He worked all day for Rodriquez and easily ride away from him at the end.

    He started the day at 2.26 so will have a high overall placing.

    Okay. Now let the fight begin.

    Aru v Dumoulin.

    Aru to go bananas in the mountains in order to get the 2/3min he'll need to hold him off in the Time trial.

    I think he'll need more time than that over a 40k TT. Should be interesting

    Yeah you're probably right. But I'm guessing that the ringer Aru is going to put him through in the mountains is going to take it's toll on the TT.
