    Even though he’s not riding, there’s a 60% chance Richie Porte gets a puncture on today’s stage

    Breakaways are such a lottery but they have had good chances this Giro

    Many riders in the peloton would have loved to be in today's but weren't allowed

    How can Ganna put down 600-700 Watts on gravel - it must be like getting shot in the face with shrapnel if you're on his wheel

    Squeaky bum moment for Ganna there.

    If Evenepoel gets dropped on these sort of roads, he'll have to surrender his Belgian passport.

    Remco has about 10 minutes to get his team organised or his Giro challenge is over

    I am really liking this slow passing of the torch of being the Peletons Alpha Male between Sagan and Ganna. Sagan knows he is on the way out but still likes to remind Ganna that he is still the biggest bollox.

    In fairness to Ineos, they do try and make the race as hard as possible

    Doesn’t look like Dan made the cut there but so hard to see

    Remco is in serious trouble here. Could lose minutes here.


    Edit: he WILL lose minutes

    This is the kind of racing you expect to see on the weekend in March or April. Loving it.

    He’s in the leaders group now

    Looks like Martin, Carthy and Vlasov aren’t

    Edit - think Vlasov is there

    Any chance the RAI director could keep the helicopter shot on the chasing group for more than 2 seconds? Impossible to see who is in it.

    Yep. Back on, burned all his team mates bar one. Massive effort at the end.

    A mate is in Italy. Italian TV have said Dan and Formolo are the only 2 from top 10 not to make the split

    Those 2 lines represented an emotional rollercoaster, given I'm trying to find text commentary anywhere that tells me where he is!
