00:03From Liguria to Piedmont
00:06From Iberia to a place that evokes the history of Italian cycling
00:11Novi Ligure, hometown of Costante Girardengo
00:14and where the legendary Fausto Coppi grew up
00:17A 175 km stage that is unlikely to affect the general classification
00:22but offers a major opportunity for the sprinters chasing a stage win or the cyclamen jersey
00:41Provided they can keep any breakaways under control
00:44Difficult, but not impossible
00:46To see a move like yesterday succeed again
00:48With 70 km to go, a well-organized group broke clear and managed to hold off the peloton
00:54A further attack by three riders created another selection
00:57Leading to a two-man sprint finish in Chiavari between Mas and Narvaez
01:01The atmosphere is incredible here
01:04We are now just in front of the beach
01:05It's going to be a great day to ride the bike
01:07With the Ecuadorian from UAE Team Emirates claiming victory
01:11His third of this Giro d'Italia after wins in Cosenza and Fermo
01:15The general classification contenders kept a close eye on each other
01:19While Portugal's Alfonso Eulaglio retained the pink jersey for the seventh consecutive day
01:24You say someone speak Portuguese
01:26Oh, obviously it changed, no
01:28I just want to keep this Malha Rosa
01:31It's incredible what I live, what I like, no
01:35These days we cannot explain, no
01:39The first 92 km of today's stage are flat
01:43After an initial inland section through Imperia to Pieve di Teco
01:46The route follows the Via Aurelia from Albenga to Savona
01:49In the opposite direction of Milan-San Remo
01:52Leaving Savona, the riders tackle the Colle Jovo
01:5411 km of a gentle climb
01:56And the Brick Berton cresting at 761 m
02:00These are two third-category climbs that should not pose major problems for the sprinters
02:05Even if they do, there should still be time to regain contact
02:08The final three kilometers are straight, with a few roundabouts taken almost without deviation
02:14Leading into the finished sprint in Novi Ligure
02:22The sun is shining, temperatures are around 25 degrees
02:25And conditions are expected to remain stable throughout the stage
02:31Right after the start, the first attacks begin with many teams trying to break away
02:39The pace is high, and the first rider to make a move at the front is Swiss rider Ohan Jacobs
02:44At the 8 km of the race, Jacobs travels with 7 seconds of advantage on Maestri
02:53The group is at 18 seconds
02:57Jacobs is soon joined by five other riders
03:00The peloton allows the move to go, but the feeling is that it won't be ignored
03:03It will be kept under control
03:10It will be kept under control
03:11Now attention, at the km 19 of the race, five men in command
03:16Gales, Tarozzi, Van Der Lee, Lopez Perez and the 61 Bais
03:22Their advantage is 36 seconds on the group
03:28At the 22 km of the race, the advantage of five fugitives is 2 minutes
03:38From this point on, the peloton begins to work, gradually cutting the advantage of the five leaders in half
03:43Meanwhile, the pink jersey, Alfonso Eulaglio is smiling
03:47He stays calm and in control, holding a 27 second lead over Vingegaard
03:52And looking to defend the overall lead for the eight consecutive days
03:59After one hour of racing, the riders reach Albinga
04:02At an average speed of 47.4 km per hour
04:05The scenery along the Ligurian coast is simply breathtaking
04:09The breakaway riders continue their effort
04:12At 60 km from the start, their advantage stabilizes at around one minute
04:16Impressive numbers come from the riders in the breakaway since the beginning of the Giro
04:21Sevilla Lopez has accumulated 721 km in breakaways out of the 1,847 raced up to the start of today's
04:30stage
04:31Behind him Artarozzi with 368, Naverman with 310 and Bais with 300
04:37At the head of the peloton, 13 riders launch a determined chase
04:41Bridging across to the breakaway with 100 km to go
04:47At this point, the stage takes on a new shape
04:50With 18 riders now at the front, the breakaway could go all the way
04:54Potentially disrupting the plans of the sprinters
05:09The riders pass beneath the KM 1926 arch
05:12Celebrating 100 years of the Italian Trade Agency
05:16The organization that has supported Made in Italy around the world since 1926
05:22Among the breakaway riders, there's no real cooperation
05:25They're moving in bursts
05:27As a result, the original group of 18 has been reduced to just 6 at the front
05:31With the others being reabsorbed by the peloton
05:36After 2 hours of racing, the average speed is now 46.8 km per hour
05:41The group seems to let it go
05:44The new chronometric control control
05:46We're at 87 km
05:48One minute of advantage for the men in command
05:50The breakaway holds a 2 minute advantage as the climb towards Kolegiovo begins
05:56Fabio, Ujoba, we are at 120 now
05:59But Movistar now takes control at the front
06:02And quickly cut the gap to the 6 leaders in half
06:05Meanwhile at the intermediate sprint in Stella
06:07Tarozzi crosses first
06:09Strengthening his 4th place in the points classification
06:12Behind Manier, Narvaez and Milan
06:14Good day out for Manuel Tarozzi
06:16Adds some kilometers to his overall breakaway prize
06:19And picks up 12 further points in the intermediate sprint classification
06:25The Friulian rider, like many of the sprinters, is struggling on the climb
06:29Which leads to the first king of the mountains point
06:32Taken by van der Lee ahead of Ginz, Versness and Rubio
06:36Meanwhile, the peloton has completed its chase and has caught the breakaway
06:41Many sprinters are unlikely to make it
06:44As the second climb of the day towards Brig Berton has begun
06:47Movistar continues to set a high pace
06:50And the sprinters are fighting to hang on
06:52At the top of Brig Berton, the peloton arrives almost together
06:56Led in order by Mas, Rubio, Milesi and Schulz
07:03The descent begins after 3 hours of racing
07:06The average speed is 43.9 km per hour
07:09Milan, Van Uden and Manier are unable to get back on
07:13As the peloton keeps the pace extremely high
07:17Attenzione!
07:18Intanto vi diciamo che alle spalle del gruppo Maglia Rosa
07:22C'è sempre un gruppo ad inseguire
07:25Questo gruppo è presente Magnier
07:28C'è anche Milan
07:29Viene indicato a 1 minuto e 28 secondi di ritardo
07:35Manier and Milan exchange a few words and decide to give up the chase
07:38Their pursuit of the group effectively ends here
07:42At the Red Bull Kilometre banner, the final intermediate sprint before the finish
07:46It's the pink jersey, Alfonso Ullaglio
07:48Who launches his move to secure six valuable bonus seconds for the general classification
07:56Behind him, O'Connor, Bellocchi, Hindley and Kos
08:02With 10 km to go, the lead group is still riding as one compact unit
08:06All the top sprinters have been dropped and will not contest the finish
08:11Giulia Ciccone attempts an attack but is quickly brought back by Arrieta
08:15As the group, led by Wisma Lisa Bike Riders, shuts it down immediately
08:22With 3 km to go, Belgium's Alex Segart of Bayern Victorious makes his move
08:28His timing is perfect, he accelerates, never looks back, goes all in
08:33And the finale is his
08:35Seggart though, 400m to go
08:37Markus Hulgaard on the front for UNOX Mobility
08:40Ethan Vernon stranded further back down the line
08:43And now they move
08:44And now Vernon tries to open up his sprint on the wheel of his last remaining teammate
08:48But Segart is riding away from them all
08:51Alex Segart
08:53100m to remain for Alex Segart to hold off the big sprint behind him
08:57And he's going to do it, Bahrain Victorious
09:00Take a fullest stage win at this judo
09:03In unexpected fashion, the Belgian Alex Segart
09:09Of course it's important for the team and for myself
09:12We had some hard days but we just keep fighting and keep the jersey
09:17It's a perfect day
09:23Behind Segart the chasers arrive in this order
09:26Ertz, Silva and Vernon
09:28In the general classification, Portugal's Alfonso Lallio remains in the pink jersey and extends his lead over Winger Garl to
09:3433 seconds
09:35Then Ironsman at 2 minutes 2 seconds, Garl at 2 minutes 30 and O'Connor at 2 minutes 50
09:45Tomorrow's stage is the classic everything or nothing scenario
09:48It starts in Alessandria and finishes in Verbania after 189 km
09:53The first 160 km run along completely flat roads, crossing the Po Valley from south to north all the way
10:00to Lake Maggiore
10:01The sting comes in the tail with 30 km to go
10:04A series of short climbs that could split the field and spark breakaway attempts
10:08The first is the climb to Bienno with manageable gradients
10:11Followed by Ungeasca where sections of its 5 km exceed 10%
10:16The descent into Verbania could see a group of around 40 riders reach the finish
10:21Likely outside the general classification battle
10:23Verbania is the hometown of Filippo, Ghana
10:25We might even try a long-range move
10:29Or a surprise attack
10:31And then we will come back
10:31And men are looking back
10:33From sourcing Jessup
10:33There was what she did
10:33Wedding kem 2
