Not bad.

 

 

Looked dodgy for 10 minutes there.....

 

Almeida grabs a few seconds back on the climb.

Almeida do a magic and won 2/3 seconds on the other contenders for the pink jersey, what sprint!

Imagine getting screwed for 8000 euro by Ben O'Connor of all places.

Some big reorganisation needed for Saturday as the Mayor of Briançon  is not going to let the race pass through  the town (scheduled to be about 40k to go, with an intermediate sprint).

 

Final climb starting up to Madonna di Campiglio.

 

GC fight starting.  Ben O’Connor goes for glory in the break.

 

O’Connor gets the win.  GC seems to be fizzing out into another race for the odd 10 deconds or so.

Kelderman's team has broken Almeida....after which an out-of-this-earth Rohan Dennis has broken Kelderman. Jai Hindley is incredibly strong.

[Grassmarket 3,408]

Decisive moments in the Giro - Almeida in trouble for the first time.  Hindley, Kelderman & Geoghagan-Hart putting time into him now.  
 

Kelderman cracks.  45k to go & lots more climbing.  Very weird that the battle for theGC & the Young Riders jersey are now the same.  Well into the snowline.

INEOS is riding Hindley towards the pink jersey.

[heywoodu 15,135]

Hindley almost crashing head-first into a stone wall because he's been fighting to get his jacket on for minutes now.

[Grassmarket 3,408]

Jeez, some remedial dressing lessons needed for Sunweb.  Hindley is riding down the mountain with an air-brake on his chest.

 

Kelderman starting to lose big chunks of time now.  Going back to Group 3 Bilbao & Fuglsang.

 

Geoghagan-Hart takes 3 secs sprint bonus, goes ahead of Hindley by 1 sec! 

[heywoodu 15,135]

Oh wow, Hindley with what's potentially an absolutely fatal rookie mistake at the intermediate sprint
