Francesco Chicchi can be seen climbing over the barrier. He's back on his bike, but he's obviously gone over the barrier at speed and he looks like he's in quite a bit of pain

Posted

Replay shows Chicchi's incident and we are none the wiser as to how it actually happened. The Italian was on his own and his bike veered into the barrier, sending him head first into the grass.

Ventoso is back on the front again and he's cutting chucnks out of the escapees' advantage. It's down to 6:16 now.

Posted

Rigoberto Uran is another strong contender for today. He's one of the few GC riders to come through the first week relatively unscathed.

Posted

Steven Kruijswijk is on the back of the peloton. He was one of the many riders to come down on stage 6, suffering a small fracture in his shoulder. The Dutch rider finished 8th at the Giro d'Italia in 2011.

We are approaching the first climb of the day, the Cippo di Carpegna. It's probably too far to make a successful attack, but it will make the selection before the final climb. Here is a look at the profile:

There is more to the climb than that profile suggests, they have around seven kilometres of climbing before the official start of the climb.

Posted

The pace is going up and the favourites are beginning to come to the front. You need to be up front when you get to the Carpegna or you could lose out. The gap to the escapees is falling quickly, it's now under five minutes at 4:37

Posted

Sky, Orica-GreenEdge, Astana and Movistar are all at the front now. There is going to be a huge battle for position soon

Posted

Marco Bandiera becomes the first to crack and has been dropped from the escape group. He was in the break two days ago too.

Posted

The climbing has begun and the maglia rosa Michael Matthews has been dropped from the peltoon, along with Nacer Bouhanni.
