It is unsurprising that the Italian teams are heavily represented in this attack, particularly Androni Giocattoli and Nippo-Vini Fantini. These two teams were very active at Tirreno-Adriatico and look set to continue that. They've been trying to make a point since missing out on a Giro d'Italia wild card.

FDJ, team of the defending champion Arnaud Demare, is controlling the bunch at the moment. William Bonnet is the man at the pointy end of the action for now.

The riders have been racing for an hour with an average speed of 41.5kph. Quick-Step has moved up to help out FDJ on the front, sending up Julian Vermote to do a bit of work.

The pace has slowed a touch over the second hour of racing. The average speed was 39kph in the second hour, down from 41.5kph over the opening hour of action.

It looks like this is the break of the day, as the bunch looks to save their legs for later. The 10 riders have almost two minutes on the peloton.

After more than 100 kilometres of racing, the breakaway has just four minutes as Bora-Hansgrohe, FDJ and Quick-Step Floors continue to manage the front of the bunch. The wind is certainly not helping their efforts.

The third hour of racing has come to a close. My, how time flies. The average pace continues to drop, with the riders hampered by the wind. The leaders completed the third hour with an average speed of 37.8kph,
