The culprit was wearing a hoodie. So It might have been Wiggins after all. I saw his top-5 sprinter list of all time and the local commentator made a remark about it. Maybe Bradley was listening and decided to act.

I was only listening to RAI coverage and they were talking about some crazy guy throwing stuff.
I could not see what happened, fortunately nobody got hurt.

EDIT: it has just been reported by RAI that, apparently, he was a bit inebriated and wanted to participate in today's stage, he was obbiously denied that, so he lost his marbles

A bit?

The peloton sat up after the intermediate sprint and gave the break an extra 2 minutes. 4:30 with 40k to go and a downhill run. Break just punched the gas. Will stay away for the stage win!

 

[search]

there seems to be a bit of a headwind which could rescue the peloton. But not as long as it's only three or four guys chasing

 

[shalgo]

For whom is Quick Step chasing?

Senechal I think

 

[Salvarani]

Break will take this

DQS must be really desperate

They shouldn't have sent Vivani home then.

Re:

Now the peloton is closing in really fast though

 

[Stelvio]

They will be caught inside the final 1500 meters, I think.

Edit: Nico Denz is strong..

 

[Salvarani]

Denz is strong, the others in the break should thank him if they are able to win this

 

[Amazinmets87]

Break has it at current pace

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Denz is clearly the strongest, but he needs to attack the other two.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Brilliant

Damiano Cima

 

[Salvarani]

OMG

 

[Lequack]

That was actually exciting for a change. So glad the break magically made it.

 

[fuiers]

That went so close. Ackerman took the point jersey?

 

[Jungle Cycle]

wow!! that was good!!
Congrats Cima!!
and Ackerman

 

[Stelvio]

Demare lost the jersey.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

That was a fun finish

 

[Rollthedice]

That was nice.
