    Gianluca Brambilla, who was doing very well in the GC classification (11th before the start of the stage), lost a bucket load of time today (5'14" behind Froome). It's possible though that he is not focusing on GC anymore now that his Etixx team mate De La Cruz is in the top-10.

    I think Brambilla was focusing on GC but he is not a climber for the harder longer climbs.

    Looks like Yates is goingup the GC and for me is a better bet than Chaves in the longer mountains to come

    Scarponi also a good bet for longer stages as is Sammy Sanchez...so those three shoudl rise up GC

    Completely agree about Scarponi. He rode like a beast in the Giro, and looks to be on form now. These short sharp climbs don't suit him, so I am impressed he is doing so well on them.

    I also agree on Yates; he is riding better than Chaves, and would be doing even better if he didn't have to work for him twice.

    Brambilla either had a problem yesterday, or he saved his batteries for today. There is no way he loses so much on a climb like yesterday if he is healthy and fighting for GC. He actually beat Valverde and the rest of the GC guys on Naranco (Stage 9) an extremely similar finish.

    I think he is targetting today's stage. I have backed him and Felline.
