    Some finish: GC man Carapaz just holds off sprinter Ewan.
    Only at the Giro.
    Lopez limits his losses, but as for the rest....

    Bad for the race. There is time to comeback as long as that knee isn't too bad

    All caused by Sivakov looking around in the middle of the peloton.

    They just packed the road. You could see it getting choppy up front. This does appear to be a feature of current tactics

    sadly I think you are right. I got the feeling roglic held back there in the final 2 k

    They are calling it 16 seconds to Yates group

    I saw 23 on the clock but a few stray riders may have stretched the group a bit

    All the GC boys were in the same group, timed at 18", except for Landa at 44" and Dumoulin at 4'-04".

    Carapaz took a jump about 200m out. Rest hesitated before Ewan tried to get back, but could't quite get there.

    It's the tactic of packing the front of the peloton with multiple trains

    I don't think it's tactics. Crashes happen...
