The road
At the start
34km against the clock at Rovereto
Sappada put Simon Yates 2:11 clear of Tom Dumoulin, with Pozzovivo at 2:28 and Pinot at 2:37 — and now comes the day the Dutchman has been waiting three weeks for. 34.2 kilometres from Trento down the Adige valley to Rovereto, flat and fast, and worth minutes rather than seconds to a man who can ride one. Five riders climbed off in the Dolomites yesterday.
How it was won

Dennis dominates the Rovereto TT
