Ewan takes the win.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Ewan's back on top. Philipsen could have won if he had had the same lead out though.

 

[glassmoon]

Ewan... no contest due to great leadout. They couldn't even get to his back wheel.

 

[RedheadDane]

The riders are approaching Etna.

35 Ks to go.
Break at 2:30.

 

[Mayomaniac]

This Etna MTF is pretty much +35kms uphill and 1,900m of altitude gain, if you also consider the short descents

 

[RedheadDane]

Pozzovivo out...
Sick.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Fiorelli isn't the worst climber in the world, so with a head start he might be able to secure a top 10 here if he's on a good day. But the gap is coming down.

 

[Mayomaniac]

How many riders of the Italuan NT will finish inside the stage top 10? I say probably 3.

 

[RedheadDane]

German Dario Gomez - our unfortunate friend from the Junior RR in Yorkshire 2019 - and Rafael Pineda are in the front.

German Gomez had a few good results in the Italian u23 one day races this year, he seems to be a guy for hilly one day races.

Pozzovivo out...
Sick.

I cannot believe this guys bad luck. I so desperately want Pozzo to get a top result in the Giro. He works so hard as well

And the Rai commentators still don't know that he's out of the race...

 

[RedheadDane]

Miholjevic dropped.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Fran Miholjević losing the wheel

 

[Salvarani]

Miholjevic dropped.

Nap time

 

[SafeBet]

Caruso goes.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Vincenzo follows, in the saddle

 

[Mayomaniac]

Nibali just told those meddling kids to get off his lawn!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Meintjes showing his annual week of form

 

[Ilmaestro99]

We are watching a great battle on Etna between friends

 

[Mayomaniac]

Meintjes showing his annual week of form

Cepeda should probably ride a bit like him today, at his own pace because he can't follow Nibali's and Caruso's accelerations.

 

[RedheadDane]

Old Sicilians having fun.

 

[HelloDolly]

They maybe old but they still have it

 

[Netserk]

Nibali is so damn smooth on a bike.

 

[Netserk]

If Nibali wins and Caruso is second with the same time, Caruso wins the overall.
