Giro 2017: Stage 7 - Castrovillari > Albertobello (224 km) **Spoilers**
Ok here goes ...
Probably a bunch sprint after yesterday's win from the breakaway group, but the final few kms in the town centre might be tricky for a full gas full peloton to negotiate.
Dmitriy Kozontchuk and Giuseppe Fonzi are the two riders up front. No surprise to see a Wilier rider there since they missed yesterday's break. 110km to go, gap at 4 min.

Going to be one of those days when the commentators really earn their €0

Fonzi (Wilier Triestina), Ponzi (CCC) and Kozonchuk (Gazprom) made the break of the day practically from the gun. Ponzi had a mechanical, which put him out of the break. Shame as it could have lit up the commentary until the peloton decides to go for it... Fonzi and Ponzi
104km to go, gap 4'23". Smart money on the break being reeled in and a sprint deciding it.0 -

Why didn't I know there was a rider called Fonzi? Combined with Jack Bauer, there's the stirrings of a specialist fantasy team there.0

Jungels' bike looks very tasteful. As does his kit. The glasses might be a bit much though.

So, after this funeral procession, a technical, mostly downhill charge, a ninety degree bend at half a km, followed by a "blind" sprint?
Nice work RCS. Wait until the mountains and ITT are almost upon them, then put the GC boys in harm's way."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

Ewan finally wins, but he needed a tight, criterium circuit to do it.
