Stage 18. 4 stages remain, and 3 of them are flat - this is the first. The points jersey made be out of reach, but there are still stages on offer for Ben Swift and Daniele Bennati. Currently it is 3-3 in their battle. Could any other sprinter manage to topple them? It would be surprise if Puma or Vesuvio allow a breakaway success. Bennati did have a crash since the last sprint stage - but does not seem to have shown any ill effects on the stages since. He and Swift actually finished alongside each other at the finish line yesterday.
There is a high altitude start to the day, before the eventual finish line in Verona.
5 riders broke clear on the early descent.
Dmitriy Gruzdev Gediminas Bagdonas Kevin Fouquet Brian Vandborg Elia Viviani
It is actually the first attack of the race for Bagdonas, but the rest have all given it a go earlier in the race.
A 6th rider looks to cross the gap to join them - and its a real dangerman, breakaway stage winner Taylor Tolleson.
The Giro does have a history of seeing a rider win 2 stages from breakaways in 1 year - that will be on Tolleson's mind today! But if we are on about links then hows this. Sella picked up his first King of the Mountains points of the race yesterday, and won the stage. Today, his teammate Viviani scores his first KoM points by riding over Climb #1 first...
It's a long way to go though, and what hope does the break really have?
Wikipedia got a little bit of help from Puma and Vesuvio during the day, but at 42km to go it is only White on front of the peloton. The gap to the break is 7 minutes.
Puncture! Henao! Not good timing...
König is amongst those to drop back, and they take their team leader safely back to the peloton.
It is just in the nick of time for Milka, as immediately Puma, Vesuvio and Pokerstars take to the front of the peloton. 28km to go, the break lead by 6'30.
Already down to 4'13 when the breakaway reach 20km to go. A further fall to 3'28 when the peloton reach that point.
Gruzdev and Vandborg use the second KoM of the day as a springboard to break the rhythym of the breakaway and attack away.
They are caught, but the group still leads by 2'12 with 12km to go, they are starting to hold out! As Gruzdev sets off again.
This time the Kazakh gets a gap. Fittingly dressed in orange, he is very much the carrot on a metaphorical stick for the rest of the break. He leads them by 20 seconds as they reach 6km to go. But his gap on the peloton is still at 1'40!!
The peloton seemed to assume they would easily chase down the break today, no matter how late they left it. But now they are faltering, not at all making the impact they need to.
This is highlighted by the fact that Diego Ulissi is able to attack clear!
The sprint trains emerge, but they are going to need an almight effort now. Van Heerden follows the leading Pokerstars train, while following Vesuvio are Ciolek, Richeze, Forero and Vanoverschelde.
The breakaway are already sprinting, and it may just be for victory here. Taylor Tolleson on his way to a 2nd stage victory? He is so confident that he is leading it out, as the gap to Gruzdev is closed.
Tolleson takes the lead. But Viviani has his wheel, and Bagdonas, Fouquet and Vandborg are bunching up behind him.
Enrico Gasparotto and John Degenkolb start the sprint, but it doesnt feel urgent enough. The sprinters need to go NOW.
The break are into the final kilometre. Elia Viviani has jumped out from Tolleson and taken the lead. The American's speed evaporating just as fast as his previous confidence.
Diego Ulissi is still clear of the peloton as we see a similar pattern in the sprint. Pokerstars in a bit of a mess, Van Heerden about to go early, and Swift and Bennati biding their time. Not going to be a stage win today though, the chasing domestiques have messed it up.
Instead the victory is Elia Viviani's! Two in a row for Simply Red Bull, just when their manager was fearing this was not going to be their race.
Gediminas Bagdonas is going to come away with a false impression of Grand Tour breakaways as he takes a 2nd place on his first attempt. Its a podium for Kevin Fouquet, while poor tactics sends Taylor Tolleson to a disappointing 4th.
5th for Brian Vandborg, while Dmitriy Gruzdev will take 6th.
The battle between Swift and Bennati is the best we have seen all race, as Swift edges out Bennati by the narrowest possible margin. But the reward is a mere 7th place.
Ciolek takes 9th - so the breakaway has denied him a stage podium. Davis completing the Top 10.
