Unlikely, it is almost mano a mano all ready. Nibali is the only one with a team mate. Almost hope Kruijswijk loses some time today, just to put the race back in jeopardy.

They are smashing it.
I'm still not convinced Nibs can bring this home.
Steven K is so impressive.

strong and stable with me, or...
No point fighting right up until the final 15kms.
I was just about to sing Bob Jungles praises, but Kelly seems to have just beaten me too it.

Cant watch it at work, so having to make do with text updates on the Eurosport website every couple of minutes...this was the last one!
"The deficit is growing for Nibali, who clearly doesn't have the legs in this race. He and Pozzovivo look like a couple of overweight club riders on a Sunday jolly"

Sure they do...
End of my ride today, struggling up Dyke Road, that is an overweight club rider on a Sunday jolly

Unfortunately I was only able only to read about the chaos on the first climb via the live ticker. Was back in time to watch it from a good few k before the Chaves group got back on though.
Fantastic stage again! Pretty safe to say for sure now that Nibs' legs have gone. It's going to take some effort from anyone to dislodge the flying Dutchman judging by the way he withstood attacks from all quarters today. Chapeau to him because it's not as if he has a super strong team around him. Race still not over though with 3 more mountain stages to come. If Firsanov was stronger I could half see a Russian alliance with Zakarin being the best chance of a surprise GC shake up, but as it is I can't see that happening.
Brilliant Giro so far. I think Modolo should win tomorrow's stage with his eyes closed. There's barely a sprinter left in the race!

I think this line is worth sharing
"Is the finish wide enough to fit Zaka's elbows and Kruijkswijk shoulders?"

In fairness to them when he came in from school part of my race description to jnr went something like this:-
'...then they hit a 15% short sharp shock of a climb and suddenly Nibali looked like errr, well, ummm I guess he looked like me'.
Team Stat did rather well today

Yep, 452 pts today. Pretty good. I only managed 472
Anyway, it's between you and Pogue now. I'll be happy if I can hold off 1066 yoof for a podium spot.
BTW, how is junior doing with that wrist? Healing ok? And how did you get on with the club?

After a couple more wholly unsatisfactory conversations we seem to have made some progress.
The club says they are getting a bit more 'serious' over such issues.
Thanks for asking.

What a crap break... just three in it! A decent dozen out front and it may have survived with few sprinter teams there to control things.
As it stands it's a nailed on Modolo win. Really should have lumped on him last night.

I wouldn't be so sure.
Nizzolo keeps getting the better of Modolo in the scrap for places.
Unless of course your doing Fantasy reverse psychology.

This is hardly a hijack - welcome.
If none of the Geeks have one kicking about you could always try:-

Obviously ebay & Gumtree.
But with Garmin being the market leader and pretty much bombproof even the second hand market comes at a premium.
If you see a bargain you need to act quickly.
Failing that you might find a discounted bargain new from somewhere like Wiggle or Chain Reaction.
Keep an eye on CR this weekend as they do love a bank holiday sale.

Got my 810 on a website called Handtec.co.uk. Have a look on there.
