Hello and welcome to our live coverage of stage 10 at the Giro d'Italia as racing get🍎s back underway following the rest day.

It's been a chaotic few days at the Giro d'Italia and that doesn't look 🎐like🐷 stopping anytime soon...

Race leader 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Remco Evenepoel is out following a positive COVID-19 test on Sunda🅺y night. Rigoberto Urán is also out for the same reason.

Three more riders, including Domenico Pozzovivo and Sven Erik Bystrøm (who was set to continue following his positive) test are out after COVID-19 positives this mo𓄧rning.

Stage 13 to the summit finish at Crans-Montana is set to be shortened with the꧅ Cima Coppi climb of the Grand St Bernard Pass cut due to snowfall and risk of avalanches.

Meanwhile, today's 196km stage could yet be abridged due to adverse weather conditions. Race organisers, commissaires and the CPA rider union are currently discussing options a𝕴head of the start.

Giro d'Italia: More COVID-19 positives as Pozzovivo, Bystrøm, Scotson withdraw

Norwegian had been🙈 set to race on after positive test last week

Pozzovivo, Bystrøm and Scotso♔n join Rein Taaramäe and Mads Würtz Schmidt (both non-COVID illnesses) in leaving the race aheadꦓ of today's stage.

Evenepoel, Ur&aacut🌺e;n, and Küng left on Sunday and Monday.

156 riders remain.

The poor weath🍷er at the top of the day's main climb, the Passo delle Radici, could see today's stage shortened. It's reportedly -2°C with high winds at the top of the second-category climb.

Here's what today's stage looks like in full...

And a map of the day as they head from Scandiano, over the Tuscan-Emilian A𝓡pennines, to Viareggio. The Apennines are unavoidable, so a potential re-route would see riders cut the route via team buses.

It's cool a𝓡nd rainy at the start in Scandiano, meanwhile.

The stage is getting underway right now. No confirmation on any cut🅷s to the stage yet...

It's a 6.5km neutral zone for the peloton.

Reports that team buses have been instructed to follow the peloton, rather than zoom away off the race route to the finish. The riders𝕴 could yet climb onto the buses for the Passo delle Radici.

Following news of the various COVID-ಌ19 withdrawals in recent days, Thomas De Gendt is still ready w⭕ith a joke...

Adam Hansen, who is now president of the CPA riders union has said that a majority of riders have chosen to ♏do the final 70km of today's ꦡstage.

He noted the weather conditions, plus lan🉐dslides, at the top of the climb.

Her♔e's what Jack ꦦHaig (Bahrain Victorious) said at the start of today's stage...

"We had a meeting all together as the riders♏, then RCS, the Giro organisers arrived. There were a lot of ꧙discussions, some of it in Italian. I needed to leave for the bus to get ready for sign-on, so I'm not sure what was decided.

"We always wanted to race, it wasn't whether we raced or didn't race. It was just that we wanted to change the course a little bit and do the final part of the course after the long downhill. We arrive at 1,500 metres to♓day. Right now it's rai💫ning and not too bad but I think at 1,500 metres it can not be super nice for us."

Primož Roglič suffered a mechanical in the neutral zone. He makes his way back to the peloton.

News of🌱 another DNS today – Oscar Riesebeek (Alpecin-Deceuninck) 🔥leaving makes it 155 riders left in the race.

It seemꦰs like the situation could be as follows: team 🀅buses following the race as a precaution, ready to take riders if the conditions worsen.

196km to go

The flag is waved and racing begins...

New race leader Geraint Thomas at the start...

"Luckily it's stopped raining for now, so I might be able to s♛how it off a bit. I'll just try to keep warm because it's going to be a hard day.

"It's a completely different race for us now this week and so a different approach. It's alwa🉐ys a boost in the team to get a jersey and it's a massive honour for ♛myself, it's the first time I have the pink jersey. I'm looking forward to it."

Attacks flying from the start.

Blue jersey Davide Bais (Eolo-Kometa) is involve🎶d.

Alessandro ❀De Marchi (Jayco-A🍒lUla) and Mattia Cattaneo (Soudal-QuickStep) also on the move.

Oscar Riesebeek is "struggling with fever, cওoughing and diarrhea, among other issues" according to his team. No COVID-19 positive.

No confirmation from Giro d'Italia organisers on exactly what is going on with today'♌s stage. Ob♏viously...

Cattaneo and De Marchi out front with another QuickSteꦰp man in Louis Vervaeke plus Amanuel Ghebreigz💦abhier (Trek-Segafredo) and Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech).

188km to go

More riders try to jump from the peloton.

Cattaneo, De Marchi, Gee, Vervaeke,🍸 Ghebreigzabhier still pushing on out front as more attempt to attack from the peloton.

No time gap as of yet.

F♈rancesco Gavazzi (Eolo-Ko🐈meta) among the riders attacking behind.

Better 🀅conditions at the finish in Viareggio than ther🍎e are out on the road...

182km to go

Only 14 seconds for the lead group.

Aleksandr Vlasov is back at the Bora-Hansgrohe team car. He's been lingering towꦓards the rear ofꦇ the peloton early on the stage.

New reports that team buses have been instructed to join the regular 'off-course' route to the finish, so it loo🐟ks like the stage will be raced as normal...

Hilly ground early on and De Marchi pushes on at the front of the attacking grou🌳p. Gee goes with him as the restꦜ drop back.

24 seconds for De Marchi and Gee as the rest of the b🐻reak is caught by a group ꦐof attackers.

178km to go

Only Gee and De Marchi clear at the moment, now 33 🐼seconds up. More attacks from the peloton.

Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) was dropped 🎶earlier, reports Jens Voigt on the Eurosport motorbike. Around 20 riders dropped in total.

No word on Vlasov since he visited the team car. He seems to be OK꧅.

The early break before the QuickStep ꧑pair dropped away. The two at the rear – De Marchi and Gee – r🥂emain out front.

174km to go

Magnus♑ Cort (EF Education-EasyPost) is trying to bridge across solo.

More riders on the attack from the peloton.

Larry Warbasse (AG2R Citro𝔉ën) leading a move.

And Tao Geoghegan Hart has moved up to mark it!

Blue jersey Davide Bais on the move again now.

New reports suggesting that Aleksandr Vlasov is sick and out th♔e 𓆉rear of the peloton all on his own.

2:40 for Gee and De Mꦯarchi now. Nobody managed to get across to the two leaders.

165km to go

Cort and Bais are still bat🎃tling to make it across.

Movistar head up the peloton currently.

3:20 for the two leaders now. 

The firsඣt intermediate sprint of the ♐day at Villa Minozzo comes up in just over 10km.

C꧂ort and Bais are still somewhere out there between break and peloton.

Vlasov is still trailing the peloton.

Movistar alone in ജfull contro💝l of the peloton at the moment.

151km to go

Four minutes for the two breakaway riders now.

Bai𒁃s is reportedly t💝ogether with Cort in the chase and they're half a minute off the break.

Bais and Cort together.

𒀰Jo&atil💦de;o Almeida said that "most of the peloton" is sick at the moment...

"Not stress but I thin⛎k most of the bunch is pretty sick. Me too. It's not great with the conditions but wᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe have to deal with it and try to improve."

148km to go

Bais an🉐d Cort make it across to Gee and De Marchi! That was a long c🌟hase...

500 metres to the intermediate sprint.

An announce✨ment from the Giro d'Italia race organisation...

"Given the exceptional snowfall, and in the light of the avalanche danger, it is announced that the race will not pass over the Great St. Bernard Pass, but through the tunnel. The Cima Coppi will be moved to the finish at the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. The Gran San Bernardo remains a 1st category climb, and points will be awarded accordingly.

"𓄧As a result of this change, the stage will have a length of 199 km."

Jayco-AlUla try to put the pressure on maglia ciclamino Jonathan Milan at the sprint but the Italian puts in a great effort to 𝓀come through first from the peloton for fifth at the line. He grabs four points there.

Our full, updated story on the alteration to🐬 stage 13...

Giro d'Italia: Grand St Bernard Pass removed from stage 13 due to snow

Milan punctured a few kilometres before the intermediate sprint, which makes h🎃is effort there even more impressive.

The fight for the intermediat꧂e sprint not long ag༺o...

139km to go

The riders co🐼ntinue to head uphill on the long slog towards the Passo delle Radici.

Four minutes between the four breakaways and ෴the peloton.

It's still Movistar leading the way in thꦑe peloton.

Bauke Mollema is at the rear of the peloton a🐭fter suꦉffering off the back earlier on. No word on Vlasov.

The rain is still pouring on the riℱders as they fight on towards the major climb o꧃f the day.

Intermarché-Circus-Wanty have reportedly lost Simone Petilli today 🐠after Sven Erik Bystrøm and Rein Taaramäe were unable to start.

R♛ep🐬orts earlier in the stage suggested much of the team were struggling.

♛Still some 45km to go until the riders reach the summit of the Passo delle Radici🍸.

18, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 points up there. Davide Bais will be keen to grab all 18 and add to his 86 KOM points. He leads Thibaut Pinot by 36🌄 points in the classification.

Read our comprehensive guide to the Giro d'italia jerseys, prizes, and classifications here.

The visibility is very poor in the peloton due to the pouring✱ rain. Movistar continue to lead.

A look at the peloton battling through the terrible conditions🐎 today.

RAI has re🧸ported that Vlasov has abandoned the Gi🌊ro d'Italia.

126km to go

That has now been confirmed by his Bora-Hansgrohe team. He was sixth over𝓡all.

The team will now look to Lennard Kämna for their𒅌 GC ho🦹pes. The German is eighth (now seventh) overall.

152 riders left in the race now.

4:35 for the breakaway quartet now.

Vlasov is the second Bora-Hansgroh💖e rider to leav𝔍e the race.

Intermarché-Circus-Wanty and Alpecin-Deceuni🍨nck have both lost the most riders at three each.

So that's Vlasov and Petilli DNF today.

Evenepoel, Pozz♑ovivo, Urán, K𒉰üng, Bystrøm, Würtz Schmidt, Taaramäe, Scotson, Riesebeek DNS.

Sick Aleksandr Vlasov abandons Giro d'Italia on stage 10

Russian GC contender ไwas dropped early on l🧸ong stage to Viareggio

116km to go

4:45 for the breakaway now. The ꦬconditions just loo🔯k worse and worse out on the road.

Former race leader Andreas Leknessund (Team DSM) among those suffering in the pe🏅loton.

Lots of riders in the peloton dropping back to teaౠm cars and🤡 even stopping by the side of the road to change clothing and add layers.

The break are in the final 10km of the Passo delle Radici now. 1🀅8 poꦯints up for grabs at the top.

Then a long, fre💝ezing cold descent follows for around 25km...

It's quite a technical descent, too.

🍃Race leader Geraint🦋 Thomas stops for a bike change. Fernando Gaviria stops to get help with putting on a new jacket.

110km to go

Kaden Groves out the back of the peloton.

UAE, Jumbo, Ineos move to the front of the peloton as the top ▨of the 💟climb nears.

Now Mads Pedersen is fighting at the back, too.

Gaviria is a𓃲t the team car and gets another jacket.

Former maglia rosa Andreas Leknessund is set to join Uno-X next year, according to Norwegian broadcaster . Rumours about his future at DSM date back to the end of his neo-pro season in ꦅ2021. He started his career in the Uno-X setup at their development squad.

108km to go

Meanwhile, Bais duly takes the 18 🌄points over the top of the climb.

Unless Thibaut Pino꧙t fancies nipping out of the peloton to pick up a handful of points, the gap between the two now extends to 54 points.

Back in the peloton there's a𒁏 hard pace at the 🌳front and riders continue to drop away.

The gap down to 3:5꧙0 as the peloton pass over♉ the top. Ineos pushes the pace in the final run to the summit.

Gaviria is still at the team car. His directeur sportif is putting gloves on the Colomꦦbia🦹n's hands.

Screech𒐪ing disc brakes now as the riders tackle the wet descent.

Confirmed – no points for Pinot on t🎃he climb.

It's still early days, bꦐut Bais on 104 points means he's in a great position for the classification if he keep making the breakaways in the final week.

In𝓰 recent seasons, no runner-up in the classification has more than Giulio Ciccone's 163 points last year.

Though by my calculation, there's a maximum of 737 points left t🎃o race for at this Giro, so pretty much anyone can win 🎐it.

100km to go

3ꦦ:40 for the breakaway now after the upping of the pace from the peloton.

Ineos Grenadiers continue to lead 🍸the peloton on 🎃the way down.

Lots of riders w♚aving their hands and swingi💜ng their arms around to try and get some bloodflow going and ward off the cold.

Bais♊ is off༒ the back of the breakaway on the way down.

The move doesn't have much chance of staying away tಞo the line and he has 18 points from a 💛maximum of 21 on the stage, so not a massive problem for the Italian.

94km to go

Gaviria at the side of the road. ♉It looks like he's hit the deck. He'll take a new bike and get going again.

Bahrain Victorious have gone off the front of the pelo♐ton. Damiano Caruso and Jonath🐲an Milan are up there along with teammate Andrea Pasqualon.

Ineos rider Pavel Sivakov is also in the group.

88km to go

The Caru𝔍so-Milan-Pasqualon-Sivakov group is reportedly a minute up on the peloton already.

3:20 from the break to that group. The peloton is a🍷t 4:35 down.

That 'minute' gap between the Bahrain move and the pelot🍨on is more like 20 seconds by m🍌anual timing from the TV helicopter shots.

Timekeeping!

🌊Coming towards the end of the descent now. 6.5km to go until the top of the next climb, the fourth-category hill at Monteperpoli.

An Intermarché-Circus-Wanty rider atta෴cks across to thꦕe Bahrain-Sivakov move.

Another crash on the descent involving Jay Vine 🔯(UAE Team Emirates) and Will B෴arta (Movistar).

🦋Barta's bike has a completely snapped fork. It looks like they just ran into the side of a house.

Vine is back up and running while Barta was 𓃲stood up by the side of the road, so he should be OK.

The weather is better at the bott♌om of the descent. It's wet but the rain isn't torrential.

The Bahrain-Sivakov move has split up. Milan went down not long ago before👍 getting back on. Sivakov has dropܫped back.

Meanwhile, Martijn Tusveld (Team DSM) has abandoned the race. His team say he was suffering from injuries sustained i🌳n a crash on stage 2.

151 riders left in the race.

Lorenzo Rota is thℱe Intermarché rider with Caruso, Milan an𒆙d Pasqualon.

76km to go

Ineos Gr𓆉enadiers lead the peloton ahead of🍸 Jumbo-Visma.

Pasq✃ualon continues driving the attack for Caruso.

Gee, Cort and De Marchi battle on up the fourth-♛cat climb. 

2:20 between the break and the Caruso group at the moment. Another 25 seconds or so back to t♕he peloton.

Gee leads Cort and De Marchi over the 🤡of the hill and down the other side. It's pretty much all flat roads to Viareggio from here.

Crash in the peloton on the short descent🦩. Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier (Trek-Segafredo) among a few riders involved but he's quickly back up⛦ and running.

Fernando Gaviria is well off the back of the peloton af𒐪te🎐r his crash. He and a few Movistar teammates aren't mounting a furious chase, so it looks like his day is done.

68km to go

Caruso, Milan, Pasqualon and Rota a🌺re💛 caught. 

The peloton is only around 30 r🌃iders strong after that descent. More groups are coming ⭕back, though.

Sprinters including Mads Pedersen, Mark Cavendish, Pascal Ackermann are chasing back on, according to Eurosport on-bike reporter Jens Voigt. Fernando Gaviria is we𓄧ll off the back.

So♑udal-QuickStep take to the front of the peloton.

Davide Ballerini must be in there. You'd imagine Kaden G🐼roves is there or thereabouts, too.

Various groups fightingไ their way back throug﷽h the cars.

59km to go

Still 2:20 for the breakaway.

QuickStep with Louis V🍃ervaeke on the front of the peloton followed by Bahrain and Ineos behind.

No 🦹rain and dry roads now on꧃ the run to the finish.

Erik Fetter (Eolo-Kometa) has aba꧙ndoned t𝔉he race. 150 riders left.

Crash in thওe peloton! Mi🌸chel Ries (Arkéa-Samsic) and a rider from Jayco-AlUla are on the ground.

Someone from the race organisat👍ion picks up the Jayco bike and p🐟rops it up at the side of the road, then walks out back into the road without looking as Alberto Bettiol comes speeding through.

Betti👍ol hits him and goes down! He's back on his feet quickly and understandably angry... 

The Jayco rider is Lukas Pöstlberger.

52km to go

Bettiol,🦹 Pöstlberger and Ries are back up and runꦏning.

And now helicopter shots sh🎉ow that Warren Barguil has also gone down. He's being tended to by medics on the side of🍃 the road.

It looks like Barguil crashed just ahead of the where the 🔥other three went down, possibly going down trying to stop in among the ambulance and various team and organisation cars.

The stretcher was brought out for Barguil but he's back up and on th🍷e bike now.

The Fren𝓀chman is nursing his left arm, not putting it on the bars. That could be a collarbone.

2:15 for the break after all that.

A look at Bettiol's cras♒h with the race official...

42km to go

Astana also with a rider at the front of the peloton now as the break r💞aces to the second intermediate sprint.

Cort led De Marchi and Gee through the sprint.

Plenty of sprinters getting back in the pelot🌊on but Jay Vine is reportedly two minutes down. Ouch.

37km to go

UAE leading 🐻a large group at two mℱinutes down on the peloton.

And no the rain is falling hard again.

Kaden Groves is also in the Jay Vine group.

Mads Pedersen, Mark Cavendish, Jonathan Milan, Pascal Ackermann, Davide Ballerini are ๊all in the main peloton. Michael Matthews should be in there𓆉, too.

The gap is coming down stea🐭dily now. 1:45 and counting.

Over i👍n France, the opening stage of the 4 Jour𒊎s of Dunkerque has finished.

The gap to the Vine group is now over five minu♎tes from the peloton.

20km to go

A look at the final kilometres – dead straight, p꧑an flat, but with plenty of damp white road markings that could cause troub⛎le in the dash for the line.

Astana, Trek, Bahrain𝄹, QuickStepꦐ all with men on the front of the peloton.

17km to go

Now a minute for De Marchi, Cort, and Gee.

A deꦿscent for the riders after a small rise in the road. This is the only real difficulty ahead of the run-in to the l🅘ine.

It lo𒆙oks like a hopeless effort for the break as they keep shedding seconds.

A crash on the descent for Edoardo Zambani🍨ni (Bahrain Victorious).

Thomas Gloag (Jumbo-Visma) also caught up but manages to stay on h♉is feet even as his bike hit the grou👍nd.

The breakaway trio are putting up a great💧 fight here.

7km to go

Moscon drops off the peloton aft☂er his stint of work on the front.

5km to go

41 seconds now.

De Marchi, Cort, and Gee still working weꦇll together here. 

Cort is one of the men who came into the Giro with a Tour and Vuelta stage win on his palmar&egra🐽ve;s. Can he follow Mads Pedersen and complete the Grand Tour stage win triple today?

4km to go

Still 40 seconds. Cort woul✃d be the favourite from the lead trio given his strong sprint.

Ghebreigzabhier still working at the front and now Ineos take it up as the Eritrean finishes 🅠his job.

Another case of so close and yet so far for🀅 De Ma🎐rchi today after missing out in Naples...

"It starts to become a little frustrating. Tomorrow morning I'll be rea𝔉dy to go again.

"You have to try. This is history – 🦹people might tღhink it's pathetic. It'd be nice for it to work one day.

"I was proud of 🔯saying I was going to be there and I almost was – in cycling that's quite big."

Jay Vine's group are still rolling towards the finish.ඣ He's well out of the GC picture now.

Giro d'Italia: Magnus Cort scores Grand Tour stage win triple in Viareggio

Thomas spends fi🥃rst daꦛy in maglia rosa after Evenepoel's COVID-19 departure, Vine drops out of contention

Gee talks about scoring his second runner-up spot ꦦof his debut Grand Tour...

"This one hurt a little more. Just because you can see the win right there. We both knew that he's too fast. It was touch and go for a bit there – for 35km – if we'd even stay out. I tried something in the last🍷 2km. 

"I'm pretty surprised [we stayed away]. I thought for a lot of kilometres it was done, especially when it was only four of us at the start. I thought we had 𒁃no shot, but I guess the descent was so technical that it caused chaos back therওe. I can't believe we made it again."

A pair of Danish Grand Tour stage win triple-rs.  Mads Ped🤪ersen congratulates Magnus Cort aඣfter the finish.

A look back at the finish of stage 10...

Magnus Cort spoke after the stage about winni𒆙ng the stag⛦e and completing the triple.

"I'm incredibly happy and I'm sure [Mads Pedersen] is. It's a lot more important to do it than who is first. It was amazing to do it – today was such a hard day 🦩– one of the hardest stages I've done on a bike. To end ♕up with a win is unbelievable.

"At times I was sitting out there in the cold I was so c♔onfused I didn't know what was going on. My radio wasn't working, I think it got some water, so I didn't have much information.

"We were pushing all day. First 🎶it was a big fight to get in the breakaway, then we wanted to push to the summit of today's stage already really early at kilometre 90 to break the peloton and make the sprinters stop chasing. We got a bit of a time gap but not enough and so they kꦿept chasing. 

"We didn't have much choice than to keep pushing. I don't remember 💟doing a stage pushing all day like this – sometimes maybe in c🎉rosswins but then you're in a bigger group in echelons. But sitting three or four guys and going with what you have for four or five hours, it's a very hard day."

Geraint Thomas made it through his first day in pink safely. He's two seconds up on Primož Roglič and five on teammate Tao Geoghegan Hart.

"It was nice. It was obviously not ideal cond𝓡itions to be wearing the jersey for the first time.

"It was a solid day &ndas𓆉h; attacking at the start for the breakaway, pretty cold at the top and then pretty cold at the top, bit of a crazy descent, then the guys trying to bring back the break for the final.

"A lot going on, a solid day, but happy toಞ get through.I'm not taking anything for granted in this race, a lot can happen, especially𒅌 with the weather. We'll see – take it day by day. Every day I'm in [the maglia rosa] will be very nice."

An extended lead at the top of the mountain classification for Davide Bais after his time in the breakaway today. He added 18 points to his total to lead with 104 points to Thibaut P꧟inot's 50.

Jonathan Milan went from 113 to 127 points at the top of the points classification today. Mads Pedersen is now his closest rival, picking up 20 points to close from♈ 24 points down to ⛦18 down.

Finally, João Almeida takes up the youth classification lead following Remc🉐o Evenepoel's withdr🐻awal. He leads Andreas Leknessund by 13 seconds.

That's all from us on live duty today. We'll have news and reaction coming in from Viareggi♔o through the evening so watch out for that.

More live coverage all day tomorrow on stage 11!
