Strong ride by Nieve yesterday. I thought Sky would've saved him for today's stage though.
Which is a monster. 6 cols, all but one in excess of 2000 metres. The penultimate climb, the Giau, is the hardest with 10kms at 10% average. The last couple of kms of the final climb are tough but it's fairly gentle until then at around 5% average.
I'd expect Amador to fall away today, it'll be interesting to see who remains in contention for the overall at the end of the stage.
