Après une longue attente, la troisième semaine de ce Giro d'Italia est enfin là ! Et ça débutait ce lundi avec la 16e étape entre Piazzola sul Brenta et San Valentino (203 km). En au sommet du terrible Passo di San Valentino, après 4900 mètres de dénivelé positif avalés dans la journée, c'est Christian Scaroni qui s'est imposé. La formation XDS Astana s'est même offerte un doublé, puisque Scaroni a fini main dans la main avec son coéquipier Lorenzo Fortunato. Au général, tout a été chamboulé ! En effet, Primoz Roglic (10e, red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe) a abandonné, Juan Ayuso (3e, UAE Team Emirates XRG) a complètemnt craqué, Richard Carapaz (4e, EF Education-EasyPost), Derek Gee (5e, Israel-Premier Tech) et Simon Yates (2e, Visma | Lease a Bike) ont réalisé une bonne opération, tandis qu'Isaac Del Toro (UAE Team Emirates XRG) a lui aussi été victime d'une défaillance, mais parvient à conserver son maillot Rose pour quelques secondes !

00:00And
00:30Here we go.
01:30Yeah, this has been a very rare grand tour where Watt van Aert hasn't really featured in the points classification. Normally he's right in the thick of it, normally winning it, but hasn't really. Well, he got off to a slow start, didn't he? So he's not really been a threat at any point to Maz Pedersen. He will roll over in first place though, and he'll take those 12 points and he'll move to 90 points.
01:58Yeah, it's probably calling absence from it is seated in fifth position.
02:05Yeah.
02:06Yeah.
02:07Yeah.
02:08Yeah.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Yeah.
02:11Yeah.
03:13You can see the rods are still soaked with water.
03:23With water.
03:25Scaroni on the behalf of his teammate just constantly looking around to see if anyone is going to threaten him.
03:31Playing a good teammate's role there Scaroni.
03:35But it's not going to come and so Lorenzo Fortunato is going to take a further 18 points.
03:39One more check from Scaroni.
03:41Safe as houses.
03:43So Fortunato takes the 18 points in first place on this first climb of the day with his teammate Scaroni in second picture.
03:49Scaroni in second picture.
04:11Scaroni in second picture.
04:13I'm gonna take a look.
04:17I'm gonna take a look.
04:19It's almost a kit.
04:21I know it's a kit.
04:23It's a kit.
04:25I'm going to go back to the next one.
04:55Wout van Aert, de Bont really wants these maximum 12 points.
05:12He's going to have to out-sprint Wout van Aert, and I think van Aert's going to let him have it, is he?
05:17Yeah, Dries de Bont takes the 12 points to move to second place in the Intergiro, in the intermediate sprints classification.
05:24And as I expected, de Bont.
05:45Finish as Ayuso, as we thought, off the back, drop.
05:49So two GC riders there dropped, one Ayuso being the most significant of them,
05:54and any link...
05:55Kilometre, a very long one.
05:56Oh, Bernal, dropped from that group, falling away, so Egan Bernal perhaps suffering really for the first time in this Giro d'Italia.
06:03The Colombian from Ineos Grenadiers.
06:08Scaroni just double-checking the intentions of Reis Leimreza.
06:11And over the top they go, and onto the descent, and Lorenzo Fortunato goes to 295 points.
06:19Second is against Scaroni, who moves into second place in that competition as an insurance policy.
06:25Should anything befall Lorenzo Fortunato between here and Rome?
06:28Well, Astana have first and second in that competition now.
07:017km at 7%, a little bit easier, and then a mighty part of roughly 6-7km with percentage
07:13about 9%, so it's very demanding.
07:18Those legs will be burning now, but just a little bit of descending there to ease some
07:24of the pain in those climbing muscles that have carried Christian Scaroni to this point
07:27where he could attack, and already he's got 13 seconds, so Cepeda under real pressure
07:32here from Movistar.
07:34Through the Red Bull kilometre, he'll take those 6 bonus seconds that won't mean a thing
07:38to him.
07:39Carapaz, they're both together.
07:45Carapaz, Jets and Del Toro.
07:47No problem.
07:48Just to see what's happening behind.
07:54He hasn't asked for help.
07:55He hasn't flicked out yet, and that little lull in the action, almost inevitably, I think
08:01Richard Carapaz was looking for the opportunity.
08:02And look at Del Toro.
08:03He is not reacting to Richard Carapaz.
08:08He is sitting on the wheel of the man in 2nd place on GC.
08:15Simon Yates, not bothered that Carapaz has attacked and gone clear.
08:17the front he hasn't asked for help he hasn't fixed out yeah and that little lull in the action
08:20almost inevitably i think richard carapaz was looking for the opportunity and look at del
08:26toro he is not reacting to richard carapaz sitting on the wheel of the man in second place on gc
08:31simon yates and not bothered that carapaz has attacked and gone clear yeah he was quickly got
08:38a gap yeah he was uh as we said sometimes carapaz is showing like a grim face while in fact he's
08:44just feeling good as he moved clear 16 this famous day of racing between them and del toro is being
08:49dropped now by stora and by simon yates in real trouble the first genuine sign of weakness by
08:55isaac del toro this young mexican is finding out the reality of leading the malia rosa leading the
09:02giro d'italia and having everybody attack you and a bad day for ue et memorates and for isaac del toro
09:08his head slumps he is dropping away from yates and stora it's still more than four kilometers for
09:14uh a giant leap in that classification today partly because of the work done by christian
09:20scarroni scarroni still on the wheel of fortunato still keeping us guessing as to what might happen
09:26when they get to the line and this is communication between the two of them fortunato looking around
09:31as if expecting a sprint from his teammate no no now we know and now we know and the smile breaks
09:36out christian scarroni the handshake is there and finally it has become clear what is going to
09:43happen at the top of this climb they come over the line together watch the wheels who gets to the
09:49line is just just it's caloney who wins the stage
