The Giro, my favourite tour of the year is only 2 weeks....

['Dale]

The peloton is making a very calculated chase of the break. They will be caught close to the finish.

['Dale]

The trio on the attack seem ready to give up their attack and are even calling on the crowd to cheer them.

CRASH

 

Andre Cardoso (Cannondale) went down but is back on his way.

['Dale]

The trio are about to caught after being away for 170km.

 

Phew!

['Dale]

The lack of cross winds mean there are no echelons. After such a steady stage, it is going to be a very fast finish

['Dale]

The peloton is about to catch the break but Berlato jumps away alone.

['Dale]

He is chasing the most aggressive rider award after Fraile took the climber's jersey and Tjallinii took the two intermediate sprints.

['Dale]

The teams are now lined up in the peloton to protect their team leaders.

['Dale]

The riders are about to pass through the finish area for two 8.6km laps. The sprinters will get two chances to see the finish and especially the final sweeping right turn.

['Dale]

 

Berlato rightly gets a cheer from the huge crowd.

['Dale]

The sprinters' teams are holding back for now, letting the GC teams keep their leaders safe at the front.

['Dale]

 

Sky, Movistar, Giant-Alpecin and Cannondale are bossing the front of the peloton.

['Dale]

Berlato refuses to give up and is fighting on alone.

 

He leads the peloton by just 57 seconds.

['Dale]

Well, Kittel dominated that finalè even after a chaotic final km

Fortunately, no crashes as it was a technical finish

['Dale]

Demare (FDJ) and Modolo (Lamprè-Merida) rounds up the podium
