It's over, it's not over, it's over again, it's not over again!
A soaking wet day in Italy made every kilometre a fight. Giulio Ciccone gave everything in a brave solo effort to save his maglia rosa, but that wasn't what Lidl-Trek had in mind.
Then came the two-man fight for the stage. Igor Arrieta and Afonso Eulálio went head-to-head, both hitting the deck, one went the wrong way, looked done, and then clawed his way back into contention. The Giro d'Italia doesn't disappoint.
Ned Boulting and Jacopo Guarnieri report from the finish line with all the reaction and analysis.
