The break: Eastman, Khalilov, Swift-Metcalfe and Fitrianto
With 30km, the break leads by 2 and a half minutes. Doi attacks the pack but is quickly caught
The break were caught with 15km to go
Disaster! Calzati crashes with 9km to go
But up front the pack has split! Some sprinters are up front, Trofimov is there - but he is the only Top 10 GC rider there, the next best placed being Stef Clement (13th overall)
Zirbel is on the front, Sinner tucked in
The sprint builds, as Sinner readys to launch
Here he goes!
Bahati leads the chase with Ludescher and Gaywood
Sinner wins the stage!
2nd for Ludescher ahead of Bahati.
Acqua Sapone lead in the 2nd part of pack, but theyve lost a whole minute on the leading 24 riders!
Worse for Calzati losing 3 and a half
