A note from a jersey pocket
Bandiera takes the sprint by the Vallelunga motor circuit, eases up, and produces a piece of paper from his pocket to wish his father a happy birthday. On a 268-kilometre day into a headwind, it is most of the afternoon's drama.

Ulissi comes back
The last kilometre into Fiuggi kicks up at two, then four per cent. Modolo sits up, Diego Ulissi comes through along the barriers, and a rider back from a nine-month salbutamol ban wins the longest stage of the Giro.
