The provisional results have listed Taylor Phinney as the maglia rosa, so he has made it across the line, but it remains to be seen if he will be able to continue in this Giro after that fall.

Now on RAI.

Just saw that.

 

Cav touch a front wheel?

Saw something similar in Tour of Qatar.

 

Phinney looks eina.

Because the crash is in the final, I think 3, kms, his result will stand as finishing with the main bunch.

 

Someone switched on the Cav, quite badly.

A rider in white kit.

Yesterday was also crash-marred on that final bend.

 

Good on Goss for being in the right position at the right time.

GreenEdge doing well.

No, some rider in a whitish top rode across the group and clipped Cav's front wheel with his back wheel. Could not be sure who it was, maybe the Katusha rider.
