I know Saur Sojasun and Gitane are not in the Giro d'Italia but is anyone else paying attention to this race. Unbelievable ups and downs in the general classification ranks.

And, that last climb on Sunday - unbelievable in the consistency of it's pitch - maximum gradient 22% with several sustained km at 15% = lots of pain!

I haven't seen the final standings today. Dirt roads up a mountain sides with pitches as steep as 24%. Not easy in the least bit.
