    Cavagna 18 seconds down at check 2 (although I don't really trust the timings). It'll be close

    Cavagna crashed in the final km. That evens it up.

    Overcooked a corner. 12 seconds down at the end in 2nd.

    It seemed that he wasn't even aware the road was turning until the corner was on him!

    Almeida starts. The most likely to challenge Ganna of those left.

    Here's how 5th-8th stands on GC

    5. Bardet
    6. Martinez +0.08
    7. Carthy +0.34
    8. Almeida +1.02

    Almeida has taken back 18 seconds on Martinez at the first check point.
    Martinez already into virtual 5th by 1 second.

    By my amateur calculations (and assuming the usual rules apply) I think Martinez takes it by half a second.
