That would be pretty impressive. Especially since their leader crashed out right near the start so they were a man short throughout almost the whole of the race.

Q - is it a foregone conclusion that they will win the team classification? They are 3 mins down at the moment. Are Ganna and Dennis going to put so much time into everyone else in the tt to make up for that?

They are leading by 20 minutes from Deceuninck.

Time check for Italy

So they are. All wrapped up then.

I'd be surprised if he did.

Now I don’t know since when Corso has him down as a ‘GC contender‘ but let’s assume it’s been since they advised his contract.

And massive chapeau to @taogeogheganhart for supporting the CS1 LTN in Stoke Newington!

I must regretfully inform you its pissing down and muddy in the Roubaix area

Light drizzle, moderate and patchy rain don’t affect the modern sugar beet harvest. Florian Sénéchal pointed this out earlier this year:

Apologies for a Cycling Weakly link but “Fabio Aru to ride cyclocross season for MVDP team” is my kind of click bait

Camapanaerts interviewed on Eurosport presumably as Ganna went down the ramp “how as your Giro?” “Well I’m really glad it’s over and I’ve about 16 minutes left in the hot seat don’t you think?”. You forget these superstars are human... v funny.

Feels like until Italy gets a new gc star to replace Nibali the giro will be tt heavy to ensure Ganna’s ongoing participation.

I thought the clock went back 1 hour last night, not forward 5 months and a week.

Anyone got a working stream? Can’t get audio on cycling streams.

S4C on freeview has it for free in HD

Jesus, Rob Hatch can't even pronounce 'Salsbury' properly.

And he's off... All the best to Tao, it would be magnificent to win this!

Three minute intervals seem ridiculous.

And he's off!

Come on , come on , come on .... do it Tao ....

TGH taking nice aggressive lines
