L. Sanchez, La Fuente and Montfort have caught Jalabert in the descent.

It looks like potato head wants to drag the peloton up to Lang.

Attacks coming in now thankfully! It was getting boring. The latest attack is from Pereiro. I wonder if there will be any attacks that will split the top GC riders.

Wow. Ricco is strong.

That was hilarious! He just suddenly flew past the small breakaway. The breakaway discussed among them whether to chase him or not, and looked like they gave up.

Yeah, everybody was puzzled by that move. Some nice comments from CN's commentary:

1. Ricco goes! Wow...he's flying... He's moving like Pantani, attacking with his hands on the drops.

2. Schumacher has been dropped. The rush of blood to his head several kilometres ago clearly came from his legs, where he needed it most..

Love the 2nd comment.

Ricco is a machine.

Lang looks very tired.

Ricco is catching up on Lang pretty fast. Only 15 sec gap. Is he a good descender?

Eurosport commentary: "There is Schumacher, the man who kicked everything off. Why.. I have no idea".

Edit: Ricco just passed Lang.
