Baso took the Pink Jersey today, Evans had no answer on the last climb. They climbed 15,000' today and are doing 20,000' tomorrow, I can't even imagine being able to do that. Or wanting to. The Giro has been awesome this year.

That's climbing Mt. Everest and a mile more in two days -- damn!

it was really great to watch arroyo descend from the mortirolo. gotta take chances if you want to stay in pink, and he did. too bad vino, evans, et al. couldn't or wouldn't help him catch leaky gas on that last hill.

6320m climbing tomorrow, including passo gavia, weather permitting. totally absurd and savage. definitely gonna wake up and watch the stream tomorrow
