Surprised to hear that it’s Quigley, not Kirby partnering McEwen.
Historically, it’s been Kirby’s constant domain.

No need for the above link, as it's on YouTube in English, with no ad breaks.

Nice ride from Johan Price-Pejtersen for third, hope he's starting to fulfil his promise

Despite his good recent form, it looks like TP's TTing is more Zana than Ganna.
Good showing by Tiberi: 2nd of the serious GC contenders.

It's not an upgrade. He is almost as much of a blabbermouth, but has an even worse style. Talks before he thinks and then immediately contradicts himself or just flat out spouts nonsense like Carapaz being Colombian (corrected immediately from McEwan) etc.

Today's sacrificial lamb is Manuele Tarozz of VF Group - Bardiani CSF - Faizanè, who has nearly four minutes on the peloton on his solo break, with only 130km or so left to go.

Low speed feed zone crash looks like it may put Gaudu out along with a Lotto rider.
Edit - QS rider not Lotto, he seems to be riding again after a concussion check. Gaudu is out though (arm / shoulder).

Not sure why Groenewegen is putting so much effort into getting back. He's highly unlikely to win after that chase so save it for tomorrow.

Have you seen tomorrow's finish? Not exactly Groenewegen parcour.

Should have gone with the flock on PTP again. Milan takes the sprint comfortably after being delivered perfectly.

Despite this being the sprinter's race of choice, according to Robbie McEwen, Milan's lead out man, Consonni, finished 5th.

I think a few went into the final bend too hot and had to back off leaving too much of a gap to those in front. I thought there was going to be a pile up at one point.

Horrible, wet weather in Tirreno today and it's forecast to be the same for a number of days.
Expect a lot of abandons as time goes by.....

It’s all kicking off, after Ben Healy attacked. Ganna is responding with panache.
MvDP has joined the bun fight.
