The road
At the start
Roglič climbs back to second
San Marino put the race back in order: Roglič won the time trial and now sits second at 1:50, close enough that Conti's pink jersey has a clock on it. Simon Yates lost more than three minutes on that climb alone. After the rest day comes the flattest stage of the Giro — 145 kilometres across the plain to Modena, and nothing to think about but the sprint.

Ackermann crashes at the kite
Under the one-kilometre banner Selig checks up, Ackermann clips his wheel and slams down hard, skinsuit shredded, taking others with him and blowing the sprint apart.
