    Having watched it yet, but it looks like Bernal and Woods may have crashed inside the final 3kms today.

    I never saw it either but, yes, I gather Bernal finished pushing his bike over the line.
    I'm not sure this is strictly allowed

    Kelderman has a broken collarbone and fractured vertebrae in his neck, will miss the Giro.

    The race finishes today, on the now familiar and usually very exciting Barcelona circuit.

    BOTD: Carlos Verona (Movistar), James Knox (Deceuninck-Quick Step), Davide Formolo (Bora-hansgrohe), Thomas De Gendt (Lotto Soudal), Alexis Gougeard (AG2R), Alexandr Riabushenko (UAE), Danilo Wyss (Dimension Data), Patrick Bevin (CCC), Jesus Herrada (Cofidis), Fernando Barcelo (Euskadi-Murias) & Nick van der Lijke (Roompot-Charles).

    Now the bad news: If it rains the stage will be neutralized.
    I mean wtf? Is Zwift really the future of our sport?


    At least no rain is in the forecast now, unlike yesterday.

    Big crash, Bardet and Geschke come off worst.

    A big crash involving 20 or more riders.
    Bardet the biggest casualty and he is out of the race.
    Gescke looks quite bad.
    Soler involved too.

    Quintana doing what he does best, a last day dig when more often than not it's too little, too late.

    Simon didn't last long, so it's Adam v Astana/Movistar by the looks.
    Once again I've had to switch the sound off that imbecile Kirby.

    Great final stage that.

    I thought Kirby was doing OK yesterday, then he comes out with the nonsense about Sky chasing down the attack because Yates turned them down. That's much more likely than because of them having a rider only 3 seconds behind him.
