Is Anton still in the chase group?
I can just spot one Euskaltel rider, and I think it is Nieve
EDIT: or not

Yes. I'm pretty sure Anton is there. I saw him there with 3.1 km to go.

Clentador is dragging Rujano into the podium fight. |

Yes, because they just went: "Shall we chase him? Nah, he's only won Tour a couple of times."
Well you would think there would be a little more desperation considering once Contador gets a lead in GC he is impossible to bring back. Maybe they are all happy to go for top 3, or wait until next week. |

So, when Contador attacks, what will "all" do? They can only sit back and watch.
There aren't only uphill finish stages if ever Contador gets a mechanical problem on a flat stage, or lads of attacks by the other GC contenders on hilly stages...

Nietmetz dragged Kreuzinger back and then popped. Now they've upped the pace a little at least. |

I was soooo right about always giving Rujano higher climb stats
Bah |

Or, the most likely explanation - they physically can't.

For some experts, it isn't. But then again, only the BEST knew what Rujano could do. |

Nibali going. Vasil seems to be leading the chase. |
