    Dumoulin out, apparently suffering with flu-like symptoms.

    Damiano Cunego! Am I the only one that thought he must have retired?

    Only just ticked over to 36 So young when he won the Giro (22 ) that his career seems endless

    Motorbike is blocking alaphilippe on the descent
    According to Kirby at least.
    Even when it was behind him. :roll:
    Then he asks them for a time gap.
    Anyhow, he's caught.
    I must have missed the blocking, the Eurosport replay was mercifully commentary free. What I did see was Alalphillipe gesturing for the motorbike to go ahead, the moto obliging and Alaphillipe tucking in behind it as the director cut back to the peloton...

    Also live now on the Eurosport player without commentary, which, on the plus side, probably means without Kirby.

    Heading up to Bellagio on the side of the lake before the turn to the Ghisallo. Lotto on the front of the bunch trying to break things up.

    Only 75kms left, so tv isn't going to get much.

    Eurosport Player has the feed... no commentary... no ads... just the chatter of the numerous motos and pilots...

    Group of 3 a head on the Cherel, LePlus et LeTurnier on the climb to Sormano.

    Cherel is having a go at Le Plus for not making an effort.

    Through the village of Sormano, the Wall approaches.

    Hopefully only a few meters but the bike went flying. It is a tricky technical descent with lots of light and shade.

    Is anyone watching this on eurosport online via Virgin Media? It's constantly jumping back 2/3 seconds every minute or so. Does this quite often, just wondered if anyone else experienced it to and/or had a fix? Tried refreshing a few times but no luck.
