Several riders strugglin🦂g to stay in the peloton. Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek), Olav Kooij (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Magnus Cort (Uno-X Mobility) all at the back.&n⛦bsp;
70km to go
Ineos Grenadiers come back to the front with Lucas Hamilton doing the majority of the work. 10km to the intermediate sprint i⭕n Barbara. Over 40km to the next KoM.
Pelayo Sanchez (Movistar) and Valentin Ferron (Cofidis) both lose touch with the peloton. Two riders expected to be꧅ involved at the pointy end today. Clearly not on good days.&nb💟sp;
Connor Swift is pushing very very hard on the front of the peloton.𒁃 It looks like they are trying to split the race in the strong winds and twisty undulating roads.
60km to go
The peloton has reduced the gap to the break to under five minutes. Quite a lot of riders losing touch as Francisco Muñoz (Polti-V🅠isitMalta) is caught by the peloton.

Puncture
Jan Maas (Cofidis)
The mechanic b👍rought the wrong wheel at first then gets the right wheel but took a very long time and is well out o😼f the back now. That was a very poor change by Cofidis.
Nickolas Zukowsky is doing a lot of work on the front of the peloton for his Q36.5 leader, Tom Pidcock. They're alongside UAE Team Emirates-XRG's massed r🍸anks as Ineos Grenadiers take a break from the front.

Abandon
Alessandro Verre (Arkea-B&B Hotels)
Gianluca Brambilla (Q36.5)
Verre was dropped earlier today with Dy𝓡lan Groenewegen (Jayco-AlUla) but the Italian climber shouldn't be dropped there. Brambilla is a big surprise as he was on the front of the peloton working hard not so long ago.
40km to go
The breakaway's﷽ gap drops to 3'40" as the peloton now look like they have comfortable control over t🌠he race.
The riders have started the second of three climbs, the Salita di 🐼Barbanti which is 6.2km with an average gradient of 4.6%.
Crash!
Eddie Dunbar (Jayco-AlUla)
Florian Stork (Tudor)
Dunbar was on his feet b🌄ut has sat down again and looks in some disc♊omfort. The rider in seventh overall with a nightmare moment after a superb start to the race.
Abandon
Eddie Dunbar (Jayco-AlUla)
That is a huge shame for the Irishman ওwho looked to be in brilliant form.
30km to go
Sevꦯera💯l teams have dragged their leaders up to the front including Soudal-QuickStep, EF Education-EasyPost, Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, Bahrain Victorious and Groupama-FDJ. Just 2'33" up to the break now.
Mark Donovan (Q3�🅺�6.5) working very hard on the front of the peloton with Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe's massed ranks on his wheel.
David De La Cruz (Q36.5) takes over the pacing on the front of the peloton but went a bit too ha✃rd and no-one followed so he had to sit up and adjust his tempo as Movistar replace him on the front along with UAE Team Emmirates-XRG and Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe.
The breakawaജy now have a gap of just under two minutes.
Attack in peloton
Chris Hamilton (Picnic-PostNL)

Nicolas Prodhomme (Decat☂hlon-AG2R La Mondiale) attacks and drops Chris Hamilton (Picnic-PostNL) who is about to be caught by the peloton.
Hamilton is caught by the peloꦦton led by UAE Team Emirates-XRG, Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe and Soudal-QuickStep.
Attack
Esteban Chaves (EF Education-EasyPost)

Ben Healy (EF Education-EasyPost)
Not a great day for the Irish stars today after Dunbar abandoned. Now Healy is dista♌nced.
Filippo Ganna (In♌eos Grenadiers) is still in the peloton. Also, fast rider, Filippo Fiorelli (VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizane) is still in conte🎶ntion for the stage.
Attack
Tom Pidcock (Q36.5)
Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates-XRG)
Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers)
They don't get a gap, though. But Pidcock leads onto the descent. Thi🐻s will be a worry for the other GC riders.
Tom Pidcock goes ℱclear on the descent with Juan A♐yuso being the only rider able to follow absolutely glued to his wheel but Filippo Ganna is unable to stay with the duo.
