    With Thomas out now... who are the favourites? Nibali?

    Yates, probably the best GC TT'er left.

    Edit: Hah, maybe not!

    The other GC contenders should increase the pace in the peloton in order to drive the final nail into Thomas' coffin. But they don't seem to be doing so

    Yates struggling! Unless he manages to recover that's even worse after all the work MS have done today.

    Favourites for the stage from the OP!

    Simon Yates 5/2
    Jakob Fuglsang 5/1
    Joao Almeida 15/2
    Geraint Thomas 10/1
    Thomas de Gendt 14/1
    Diego Ulissi 16/1

    May be updated as they're saying Almeida is at the back of the lead group...

    Smith saying McNulty won here last year, Guillaume Martin might have something to say about that and Masnada was second that day.

    One things for sure, the group will have no fear of Keldermann attacking here :rolleyes:

    This stage is bonkers, don't think I've seen the likes of this so early in a GT before.

    Delighted to see Pozzovivo still up here. He's had it rough in recent times.

    Kruijswijk looked in trouble there! This Nibali group looks like the group we'll be watching battle it out for the overall...

    edit...and Kruijswijk gone again as is Majka, this is brutal today.

    Commentary seem to have forgotten Keldermann up the road or was he taken back?

    Caicedo is up with Voeckler and Virenque for ugly riding style.

    Works, though.

    Incredible stage. Honestly thought the Giro was between Thomas and Yates and they’re both gone already

    Did Yates have to weld his bike along the way, Christophe-styleee? Those glasses are horrific.

    He said McNulty won the stage up there in the Tour of Sicily iirc.

    Great fightback from Kruijswick. I think between him and Fuglsang for GC now, after thinking Thomas was nailed on!

    Kelderman favourite now, I guess? Would like to see Pozzovivo make the podium.

    Geraint Thomas and crashes are synonymous now at this stage.
