    Can't wait to see this stage tonight. Goes over the mountains I ride in Spain. Did both of those passes last month. Tough going.

    1. 15:48 CEST

      Silence-Lotto have realised that Gesink is struggling and have come to the front of the peloton, Liquigas and Caisse d'Epargne are already there. This is bad news for the Rabobank captain and the breakaway.
    2. 15:56 CEST (58km remaining from 174km)

      Gesink is now chasing on the descent off the Morcuera. He's pulled back to within 30 seconds of a now Euskaltel driven peloton. The boys out front have just over three minutes now.
    3. 15:58 CEST

      The leaders will be willing Gesink back into the peloton. There's a chance that if he makes it back to the main group the teams in the race for overall will take their collective foot off the gas and give them hope of surviving over the top of the Navacerrada.
    4. 15:58 CEST

      Gesink is one tough cookie. He's just nine seconds behind the main bunch now.
    5. 16:01 CEST

      Rabobank have almost brought their leader back to the main pack now. The leaders have 2:48. This is shaping up to be a battle royale on the final climb.
