Well that was a bit good, this is shaping up to be an epic GT. All three contenders look super strong, bit of a rest day tomorrow for the overall contenders but will get a better insight on Saturday's stage - looks a real humdinger. Porte does look really good, however if I was him I would be slightly worried by the lack of in depth strength Sky have compared to Saxo and Astana.

Viviani punctured at the base of the climb which tok him away from supporting Porte, however it's fair to say that Sky are focusing on the TdF this year.spikeyhead said:

Not looking good for Bertie. 
BBC reports that he's dislocated his shoulder but is feeling confident he can continue but will decide tomorrow.

Bertie has signed on for today's stage,will be interesting to see if Astana try to apply some pressure today though fortunately for Bertie and Tinkoff, its not a particularly hilly stage though there is a lump 15 kms from the end which could see Aru and Porte try something though it looks like it will favour the likes Chava, Gilbert or Slagter
So much love for Petacchi getting in the mix!
