The intermediate sprint is coming up. Sky are still on the front of the peloton and may be looking to get the red jersey points. He's currently 5th in the point classification, 33 points behind the leader Elia Viviani.

Miguel Angel Rubiano crashes in the bunch after he gets a plastic bag stuck in his front wheel. He's now chasing back onto the peloton

The sun is shining on the break of the day but the peloton has been caught in a shower.

The peloton has also taken on board the feed and will no doubt accelerate the pursuit of the break very soon.

Team Sky is still leading the chase. They are working for Edvald Hoasson Hagen, who is suited to the climb to the finish in Montecassino.

Some traffic furniture squeezes the peloton but they make it through without problem.

A storm has hit the finish area, with strong winds and heavy rain. It could make the finale very interesting.

The peloton has eased as many of the rider take a natural break. Others are taking on board drinks and food. With the break under control, there is no need to rush the chase.

[Cav']

The Trek Factory Racing team has taken up the chase after Team Sky refused to return to the front.

There was a moment of bluffing in the peloton, with Lampre-Merida refusing to do any of the work.
