The stage
The toughest stage of this year was shortened by 60kms and two major climbs (Marmolada-Fedaia and Pordoi) were cancelled due to cold and rain
Nevertheless the stage was a battle for GC
First of all a group of 6 riders including Almeida, Formolo and Nibali. Nibali was reported breaking a rib yesterday so chapeau to Vincenzo
The weather was pretty bad and there were no images of the stage but halfway through the stage Egan Bernal attacked and distanced everybody. Evenepoel lost 24 minutes, Yates 2,37 minutes and everybody else in the middle
Egan BERNAL won the stage and second was Romain BARDET and third was Damiano CARUSO
Bernal got to the final km in a black rain jacket that in someway ripepd off to show the pink jersey
