I tuned in late and this EuroSport coverage isn't giving me the info I crave.
Who's chasing who?
I see Popovych and Cunego, then the Maglia Rosa group

Does Sastre have enough road to catch Popo? Basso gaining on Sastre.

he's still 2' down. I think Menchov and Di Luca are more worried about each other still.

It's Popo at 3 km, then Sastre, then Basso, then DiLuca and Menchov.

Lance dragging Levi along now somewhere behind Menchov.

Pop has 1:40 on Sastre who has maybe 10-20" on Basso, not sure about the gap to DiLuca and Menchov

I wonder if lance actually dropped back to help or if the cock just couldn't ride any faster.

Sastre is ridiculous. I have sympathy for Popo; he's like the Giro's Cadel. So close, but so far...
