    I think Nico almost never wears an aero helmet too, Rogers does

    Rodgers might have had to give him his shoes and helmet at some point.

    Some ride by Arredondo. On the back of a Robert Millar article I actually had a few euros on him to get atop ten GC at 6/1 which Stage 6 put paid to but given how the strength of this ride it was a very good call.

    Pop goes the piston. Not sure Rolland will do it.

    Poor Rolland.

    Moreno came to a standstill when Kiserlovski went by him.

    Ulissi won from Kiserlovski, Kelderman, Quintana and Evans

    Well done to Arredondo, Rolland & Ullissi. Tobh, whether it's a reasonable reaction or not, I find it annoying to see no GC rider attempt to do anything.

    Surprised Pozzovivo didn't do more considering how well Ag2R rode for him

    This is the third time that Cadel Evans has taken pink jersey. He became the first Australian to do it back in 2002. Here is what he had to say at the finish.
    "We had hopes of what we could do. It's been a really difficult Giro for all sort of reasons. We are in a good position at the moment. It was a hard stage with all the contenders there.
    "Steve was really the man of the day for us, he was there to the finish. We all started the stage a little fatigued today and I think that showed at the end."
