   Could this be a really smart and opportunist move from the Team Sky rider?

   Brutal conditions but how will the organisers handle Cataldo's attack? He doesnt want to sit up and wait.

   According to race radio riders will stay on their bikes but will be lead down the descent. Roche sets the pace but up ahead Cataldo has attacked from the break and now the snow begins to fall.

Stelvio descent neutralised due to snow. But Cataldo has every reason to carry on as the Cima Coppi prize awaits at the top of the climb

[mon-goose]

is cataldo already off the decent and on his way up the next climb

[fanievb]

The Cima Coppi is taken by Cataldo this year. That's 40 points in the KOM too. He takes a bottle at the top and now he's onto the descent.

I have no idea how they will enforce that. Honesty system?

[jcza]

Whatever the time gap is at the top will either be used at the restart at the bottom or used when calculating times at finish. Similar to Milan-San Remo last year.
