Bernal is apparently on the descent already. So yeah, no pictures of that neither...

[heywoodu 16,004]

Rumours: Caruso and Carthy 45 seconds behind Bernal at the top, Carthy at 1:13. It could also be that Caruso is 1:50 behind, nobody really knows. Vlasov and Martinez just over two minutes behind, Yates nearly three minutes.

Absolutely thrilling TV!

Watching live from the top on some dude's Instagram now  @igortavella

Random dude on Instagram standing near the top in between the snow walls brings a perfectly stable live stream, it's truly excellent. RAI has shown maybe 20 kilometers of the 155 of today and can't show anything of the past 25km or so.

Bernal

 

Caruso

 

Bardet

 

Carthy, Ciccone, Almeida

 

Vlasov, Martinez

 

Yates, Pedrero, Formolo, Foss

 

That's the order in which they passed the top of the Giau.

Martinez in trouble in the descent, apparently.

 

Meanwhile on the climb, basically it's all just 1 or 2 riders at a time, with dozens of seconds in between them. It's been an absolute massacre..

Even with masks, Italian cameramen can always find the best-looking women in the crowd.

Bernal must be getting close, there's the 'beginning of the race' car!
