The road
How it was won
- 40 km to go
Kiryienka fastest already
The favourites are still warming up when the Belarusian posts the quickest time at the first check. Sky, whose Giro has been miserable, suddenly have a stage in their hands.
- 24 km to go
Over San Pietro di Feletto
The climb through the Prosecco hills is where a 59-kilometre time trial stops being a test of power and becomes a test of judgement. Kiryienka is fastest here too.
- At the line
1:17:52, and pink comes back
Kiryienka's time stands: twelve seconds on Luis León Sánchez and fourteen on Alberto Contador. Third is more than enough — the Spaniard takes the maglia rosa back from Aru.
