13:11 – A scattered peloton
The attacks of Pellizzari and Quintana exploded the small peloton that remained. Pogacar remained in position while all the leaders are almost behind, to see if he fits into the order on the descent.

The Italian from VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè, second yesterday, fought with Nairo Quintana to take the lead. At the start of the descent. the Colombian restarts with Julian Alaphilippe. Behind, everyone is scattered!

12:57 – The riders will pass on the roof of this Giro
This first pass of the Passo Sella is the Cima Coppi, the highest point of this tour of Italy after the withdrawal of the Stelvio yesterday. As such, it will earn 50 points in the mountain classification for the one who comes first.
12:55 – De Marchi comes out
While the peloton resumed all breakaway attempts, Alessandro de Marchi restarted
12:53 – The gruppetto is already forming
While many attack in front, around forty riders are already released to form a gruppetto. It’s likely to be a long day for these runners.

12:37 – Only one kilometer of fictitious start
The attacks should come very quickly in this stage, with only one fictitious starting kilometer before attacking the first difficulty of the day.
12:29 – A white jersey in danger
If Tadej Pogacar has a more than comfortable lead in the general classification, Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious) is more worried about the ranking of the best young person. He actually lost a few lengths yesterday on a closer competitor Thymen Arensman (Ineos Grenadiers), who closed to 24 seconds.
11:55 – Climbers should take the breakaway
In this key stage, we should see many climbers trying to break away, especially those who have not yet won in this Giro, like Nairo Quintana. Why not also see riders not so far behind in the general standings trying to make up time from afar in the five climbs of the day.
