Eugene Oppelt Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Nizzolo is mobbed by friends and family after the finish line. How good must that feel.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Nibali messes around and joins arms with his Astana as he crosses the line.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Arndt was second there, and Trentin third. Modolo, who didn't look happy, was fourth.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Nizzolo came bursting through but as the road curved in the finishing straight he did veer over towards the barriers and into the line of Modolo.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 We've just grabbed a word with Modolo, and he is not happy with Nizzolo's sprint. "You saw it, if I hadn’t braked I’d have been in the barriers. Closing me in like that is dangerous.”

Eugene Oppelt Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Earlier...???? There's a sizeable crash that leaves a few riders on the ground. Rigoberto Uran is on the deck and Esteban Chaves stops to check on his compatriot.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Uran gets back on his back and rides on with teammates. There are no worries about trying to get back onto the bunch as the GC times have already been taken and the stage has been neutralised from that point of view.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Sutterlin was in fact injured in that crash. He has been taken away in an ambulance and therefore will not finish this Giro.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 That crash has added something of a sour note to the end of this Giro. Two young riders in their first Giro, so close to reaching the end, having to end their race in hospital.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 A very important 10th on GC for DiDataNicely ridden, Siutsou ????
Cippo Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Nizollo DQ for changing his line. Arndt gets the stage win. Modolo you suck! Maybe he should go play soccer.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Yip, Nizzolo has to go onto the podium to collect his red jersey...and he does NOT look happy.
