Also should give props to Sky. Despite the crapfest they are in they ride a brilliant race unusually for them. They were the biggest team after the Cipressa, seven riders I think, they massed but stayed back and let other teams pace set between it and the Poggio, then surged to the front just as the road went up. Dumoulin went past them and set a ferocious pace and they just followed to his obvious frustration, with Viviani in tow. Dumoulin pulled off, the pace dropped, Sagan attacked and they went plan B and Kwia followed. It was very well executed.
