What a crappy way to lose the Giro :(

And i wonder what those doctors did to Nibali yesterday. Seems reborn.

Can't believe Nibali today, higher cadence all lights are green ...

We've had super turnarounds before. I really hope this one wasn't achieved in the same manner than those were although this wasn't after a rest day.

Other than this, another epic stage.

Hmmm, attacking the leader after he's crashed isn't really cricket. That said I have 20quid on Chaves at 60/1, so I'm not complaining :D

Kruijswijk being handed the pink slip from leader duties...

I hope he can bounce back tomorrow.

F#cking hell that was a big one. He's lucky he could get up and finish the stage!

Can't help but be a bit suspicious of Nibali's miraculous turnaround unfortunately :( Especially considering the team he is on.

Nibbs and Chacha have already distanced Valv and Majka. if they slowed down, the bunch would come together. that's racing after all, and the crash was evidently Kru's fault, not a mechanical or smth like that.

Agreed, this was no "chain-gate" style attack, to be honest I was surprised the Dutchman got up from the crash at all, looked nasty!

All to play for tomorrow!

one thing's for sure -someone will crack tomorrow. if today's any indication, I'd bet it's gonna be Chavez. Nibali wins another stage, Kruswijk gets 2nd overall, Valverde 3rd. Chavez slips to 4th.

When so much is at stake, that "doctor visit" is questionable. Wasn't just a "you're better than that" pep-talk. B-12 yes, but what else?
Just hope they're honest with the post-race testing.
