Looks like sky are doing their best to destroy the field, evans and nibali still hanging on.

Everyone seems ok on the descent thus far. Hejsedal the big casualty thus far. The final climb will be a real test, not only between the so called leaders but even within Sky. I've heard talk that amongst the management they think Henao is strongest at the moment.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Good move to send Uran up the road. Putting pressure on Astana here.

 

[sbbefc]

I haven't got a stream, only text updates, wiggins in trouble?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Wiggins is in the group. Henao is struggling a bit. Nibali is on his own. Uran a minute up the road.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Attacks coming, Gesink and Wiggins struggling.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Pozovivvo at the front. Little fella.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Scarponi back with Wiggins but there's a gap between them and Nibali and Evans.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Uran's lead down to 28 secs.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Danger that this is going to fall apart for Sky. Looks certain that Uran will be caught. Wiggo is dropped. Henao nowhere.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

23s between Wiggins and Nibali

 

[sbbefc]

20% gradient to come?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Oh dear. Uran managed to win the stage, but Nibali grabbed the third time bonus, and put a decent chunk of time into Wiggins.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

If Wiggins is still leader I'm not sure what his tactics were there as he didn't seem to have the legs. I know he's never been strong on super steep climbs, but still. The gap's are growing.

Not good that from wiggins, i wonder what's going wrong? he said he was in his best ever shape pre-race didn't he?
