Rideventures: Monte Grappa Time Trial makes gaps

Nairo Quintana cemented his position as Giro leader with a win today on the Monte Grappa. The individual time trail up the massive mountain gave him time on all his rivals. Most of all it put time into second place GC contender Rigoberto Uran who lost 1min 26 seconds despite being 3rd fastest on the hill.

Aru continued his climb up the placing with a performance that was just 17sec down on Quintana. Aru now jumps to 3rd on General Classification. Meantime Rolland lost time and his 3rd position.

Cadel Evans, despite losing more time to Nairo, actually climbed back up the leader board and is now 7th overall. He swops with Hejedal who clearly didn't have as productive a day.

Nairo now have over 3mins on his nearest rival (Uran) and nearly 4mins on Aru. Everybody else is well over 5mins+ back.
