In the men's race, meanwhile, the break is on the sixth sector of mud road at Pieve a Salti, with a buffer in excess of five minutes over the main peloton.

A major split has occurred on this sixth sector of dirt road, with a group of 15 or so riders - among them Peter Sagan - moving clear of a fragmented peloton. Vincenzo Nibali is among the riders in the third group on the road, but we understand that the race has splintered into pieces.

The beauty of Strade Bianche, of course, is that these gravel roads are slung along the Chianti hills, and hence there is scarcely a metre of flat along the route, which dips and rises throughout the day as it doubles back towards Siena.

Lotto Soudal are now setting the pace in the chasing group, which is around 20 riders strong. Tiesj Benoot is among their number, hence the Belgian squad's efforts. Others in the group include Van Avermaet, Stybar, Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb), Luke Durbridge (Orica-Scott) and Michal Kwiatkowski (Sky).
