Stage 10

The road

At the start

The longest day, 244km to Gualdo Tadino

Off the first rest day, Simon Yates leads his team-mate Esteban Chaves by 32 seconds and Tom Dumoulin by 38 — Mitchelton-Scott hold first and second in the Giro d'Italia. Today is the longest stage of the race: 244 kilometres and 4,100 metres of climbing from Penne through the Marche and Umbria to Gualdo Tadino, up and down all day with nothing steep enough to settle it.

How it was won

1. 1100 km to go

   Chaves is cut adrift

   When Quick-Step stop working with 100km to go, Mitchelton-Scott are put on the spot and eventually wave the chase off — and Esteban Chaves tumbles out of the GC, the gap ballooning to 25 minutes.

2. 275 km to go

   Frapporti's lone raid

   With 75km to go the break specialist Marco Frapporti sets off alone, adding to his tally in the fight for the most kilometres spent on the attack.

3. 330 km to go

   Mohorič bridges on the climb

   Villella and Mohorič bridge up to Frapporti on the gradual climb to Annifo and drop him on the steep final pitch as the rain begins to hammer down.

4. 4At the line

   Mohorič wins the two-up sprint

   Using his descending mastery on the soaked roads, Mohorič edges out a refusing-to-fold Nico Denz in Gualdo Tadino.
