00:02La scelta XII
00:03C'è stata presa sinistra di tutti quanto
00:08Filippo Ganna hanno servito davvero grande performance
00:11guidando la 42 km tramite di giardia da Massa
00:15e... emita più di due minuti di riscaldi
00:21Alfonso Lallio ha defeso brilliantly on a terra
00:24che non costava da sua caratteristica
00:26Holding on to the Maglia Rosa with a 27 second lead over Jonas Wingergaard
00:31And a 1 minute 57 seconds over Thinmen Arendsman
00:34It's a perfect day for attackers
00:36Between Tuscany and Liguria, 195 km that are anything but easy
00:43The stage starts in Porcari in the province of Lucca
00:47A town of Lombard origin that preserves medieval buildings
00:50As well as the evocative Fossanera Archaeological Park
00:53Today it's also one of the leading centers of Italy's paper industry
00:57From the inland the race will move towards the coast
01:00Climbing up into Liguria with La Spezia and the distinctive Cinque Terre
01:04The finish is in Chiavari, a charming seaside town dominated by its castle
01:08A symbol of medieval clashes between Guelphs and Ghebellines
01:11The route is split in two
01:13The opening section in Tuscany is relatively straightforward
01:16But after 100 km the road begins to climb
01:19At least it's not raining, it's going to be a nice day, long day for sure
01:22And it's going to be a big fight for the breakaway
01:25But for sure we will try like a team
01:27Riders will tackle the Paso del Termine
01:29The Colle di Guattarola
01:31And after a long descent, the Colla dei Scioli
01:33Officially, this is the final categorized climb of the day
01:36But the Red Bull KM is located in Coorno
01:39At the top of a climb that cannot be underestimated
01:41From there, less than 17 km remain to the finish
01:47The end for sure is super good for me
01:49But for me the first thing is to get in the break
01:52And then I start to think about the end
01:53On paper, it's the perfect stage for a breakaway
01:57We could see many of the riders who've already impressed in recent days on the attack
02:00Such as Cristian Scaroni, Jan Christen
02:03Or Andrea Raccagni Noviero, who's racing on home roads today
02:16But it will all depend on the peloton's decisions
02:19Will the GC contenders give space to the attackers?
02:33A bright sun shines over and it is immediately time to attack
02:40Right after the official start, the first riders make their move
02:44The peloton explodes as the real battle begins to form the breakaway
02:55The pace is extremely high
02:57In the bunch, the GC teams are trying to keep the situation under control
03:02After about 10 km, a small group manages to gain an advantage
03:11UAE Team Emirates XRG and Palti Visit Malta miss the move
03:15And are now looking to close the gap
03:22Up front, we also find former Maglia Rosa Giulio Ciccone and David Ballerini
03:26Winner of the Naples stage, but their attack is destined to fail
03:30The group is still close, I'm in command
03:38The race is flying at over 50 km per hour with constant attacks and counter-attacks
03:43No one is able to break clear
03:46We are at the exit of Camaiore, two corridors slightly advantageous
03:53But the group does not give space
03:56More riders try to go, the peloton keeps everything under control
04:01No one is willing to give up
04:03Harpis, Likneson and Bais all have a go
04:06Could this be the right move?
04:16They need to maintain a gap over the peloton
04:21It doesn't look that it's quite settled yet in the peloton
04:25Some teams might not be entirely happy with the current situation
04:32Matia Bais is the first to cross the intermediate sprint in Luni
04:36The peloton is over a minute behind
04:38And nine riders have launched a chase to bridge across to the leaders
04:42We enter Liguria and once again large crowds line the road to cheer on the Giro
04:50It's gonna be passing through the Cinque Terre
04:52Meanwhile, Plankert, Denz, Vlasov, Stuyven, Naberman, Crescioli, Holgaard, Betiol and Ulisi
04:58Have made it back to the front of the race
05:01Now the peloton has to deal with a strong group of 12 riders
05:10It has reached the third test of the nine followers
05:18The rolling section begins
05:20UAE, Team Emirates and Needle Trek raise the pace
05:23While other riders try to launch attacks
05:31It's a demanding course that offers no respite
05:34The peloton splits into several groups and the sprinters lose contact
05:39Mas and Van Edveld chase the head of the race
05:41But the toughest climbs are still to come
05:44Everything can change at any moment
05:47On the long ascent of Paso del Termine
05:50Mas and Van Elt manage to bridge across to the leaders
05:53Shortly after, Narvaeth also makes it across
05:56The stage winner in Cosenza and Fermo
06:08Meanwhile, other riders have attacked from the peloton
06:10Where Bahrain Victorious have moved to the front
06:13At the Paso del Termine KOM, there's no sprint
06:16It has to go with the test of the race
06:19We are at the Grand Prix of the mountain
06:22Mattia Baez leads the breakaway group
06:25There are 17 riders out front
06:27The Malia Rosa group trails by 1 minute and 25 seconds
06:31So, attention, the order of the steps
06:34At the Grand Prix of the mountain
06:35At the Paso del Termine
06:37First, number 161, Baez
06:40Second, number 162, 162, Crescioli
06:44Third, number 127, Vlasov
06:47And fourth, number 123, Dels
06:56At the base of the Colle Guayatarola climb
06:59The breakaway's advantage approaches 2 minutes for the first time
07:03Nearly 10 kilometers of climbing lie ahead
07:05With gradients up to 11%
07:10At the head of the peloton, Ineos Grenadius takes control
07:14To keep the situation in check
07:19The first to make a move
07:19Diego Ulissi is the first to make a move
07:21The breakaway group shatters
07:23It's a constant flurry of attacks
07:26At the summit of the KOM
07:28It's once again Mattia Baez who crosses first
07:34The first to make a move
07:35We are watching the order of the passages
07:37At the Grand Prix of the mountain
07:39Of Colle Di Guayatarola
07:42First, number 161, 161, Pai
07:46Second, number 226, Scaroni
07:48Third, number 81, Mass Nicolaou
07:50Fourth, number 162, 162, Crescioli
07:53Il peloton è ora quasi 4 minuti dopo.
07:56È il momento di affrontare una lunga descente,
07:59avendo la finala KOM del giorno.
08:01Di 12 ritori in il breakaway,
08:03turni sono sbagliati regolari,
08:05mentre Palti Visit Malta, Sudal Quickstep
08:07e XDS Astana
08:09cercano ad esplorare il numerico avanti.
08:11C'è stata una caduta, una scivolata in testa.
08:15Allora sono scivolati.
08:17Vanna e Svelte, Vanna e Scaroni.
08:20Con la descente, con circa 41 km a passare,
08:24Vanna e Svelte, Scaroni e Zanna crash,
08:27e per loro,
08:27è praticamente impossibile per arrivare in contention.
08:33È ora di raccogliare la Colla dei Scioli,
08:35dove gradi aumentano 15%.
08:38Il peloton è far behind,
08:39e la victoria ora sembra probabilmente
08:41di essere decisiva among gli attaccati.
08:43Allora, c'è ancora una lunga per andare.
08:45Chris Harper cressi il summit di la Colla dei Scioli first,
08:48while behind him Scaroni launches a desperate chase
08:51of the six leaders,
08:52going all-in on the descent.
08:54Ordine dei passaggi al Gran Plano della Montagna.
08:57Primo transitato numero 116, Harper.
09:00Secondo numero 195, Narvaez.
09:03Terzo numero 127, 127, Vlasov.
09:08E quarto numero 228, Ulissi.
09:16Il chilometri passi velocemente,
09:18e il finale di questa stagione è più impredicabile che mai mai.
09:21As soon as the road starts to climb again,
09:24Mas delivers a sharp acceleration.
09:26Il solo rider able to hold his wheel è Narvaez,
09:29while gli altri sono forciti in pursuit.
09:31Adesso rimango in due al comando,
09:34Mas Nicolao e Narvaez.
09:38Mas leads Narvaez through the Red Bull Cam
09:40with just under 13 km remaining,
09:43and everything is still wide open.
09:46Ulissi, Vlasov and Harper
09:48are less than 20 seconds behind.
09:51The crowd in Chiavari welcomes the two attackers.
09:54On paper, Narvaez is the fastest sprinter,
09:56so Mas will have to try everything to drop him.
09:59There's no time to hesitate though,
10:01as the chasers are closing in fast.
10:03Looks round, checks,
10:04not so much to see where Mas is.
10:06200m to go,
10:07Mas opens up his sprint at 200m to go,
10:10straight all the way to the line.
10:11Jonathan Narvaez then looking for room
10:12on the left-hand side of Eric Mas,
10:16finds that Mas just about holds him off as well.
10:19It's a good sprint for Mas,
10:20but victory number three in this year's Giro d'Italia
10:23for Jonathan Narvaez.
10:28If you have the motivation to raise heart.
10:31It's another incredible victory for Jonathan Narvaez,
10:35who launches his sprint in the final 200m
10:37to beat Enric Mas.
10:39It marks his fifth career win in the Giro d'Italia
10:42and his third in this year's edition.
10:44The first chasers cross the line around 10 seconds later.
10:47The general classification contenders choose to recover
10:50after the demanding time trial
10:52and arrive in Chiavari more than three minutes down.
10:55There are no changes in the overall standings
10:57and Alfonso Ullaglio will wear the pink jersey for another day.
11:00To start the stage I have this jersey is perfect.
11:05It has now reached its halfway point
11:07and tomorrow's stage will take the race from Piedmont to Liguria.
11:11The 175km from Imperia to Novi Ligure could once again favour a breakaway.
11:17After an uphill start, the route features a long flat section up to the intermediate sprint in Stella.
11:22The riders will then face the climbs of Kole Giovo and Brick Burton
11:26with the final summit coming 52km from the finish.
11:29A descent followed by another long flat stretch will lead into Novi Ligure
11:33where we could also see a sprint from a reduced group.
11:36of the near to the dirt.
11:41Packers to Hill.
11:42The Manis Henson
11:42in the diabetes and the Fiannaiton
11:42will then go into the next step.
