Lance caught up to Levi. Looks like Astana still have Popo and Navarro up the road from them?

perhaps - perhaps - JB, or whomever, told him to sit tight, because the descent was coming up?

Menchov has no Rabobank riders with him.

Bertagnoli only 38" ahead of Back(sp?) Marzano and Pinotti is a bit further back. Maglia Rosa closing in 7k to go.

yeah, what was his reasoning? that seemed really odd. does he think that pauwels can help sastre if/when bertogloni is caught?

Grivko flying off the front of the Maglia rosa group.

3 km for Bertagnoli to go. Looks like he's got it.

Possible but based on Levi v DiLuca on a long technical descent I'd have been a bit more worried that Levi might not get back on.

Did you see that lady try to come out and hug Bertagnolli, and get pushed back by the security or whatever?

I guess that pretty much is the end of Cunego as a contender for the overall no?

i'd be sooo pissed if i were pauwels... how do they cope with that crap? him getting a giro stage win would've meant possibly getting a wage increase, or at least being a better looking rider on paper for the future, and his boss just told him not to win it, ahg.
