The final day of the first week of the
Giro d'Italia has been spectacular in every sense of the world and the overall classification has been completely turned on it's head.
Isaac del Toro is the new pink jersey, whilst both
Primoz Roglic and
Juan Ayuso seemed to have endured a difficult day outside of the high mountains.
Former race leader
Diego Ulissi was distanced right away in the first gravel sector, and it opened up once again the battle for the race lead. But it wouldn't be Primoz Roglic to take over, after the Slovenian has crashed and then punctured. He's lost over a minute to Juan Ayuso, and over 2 to the Mexican who is now the new race leader.
Del Toro leads Ayuso by 1:13 minutes and
Antonio Tiberi who is now third by 1:30 minutes. Richard Carapaz, Giulio Ciccone, Simon Yates are all in the Top10 after strong days, and still ahead of Roglic are two more UAE Team Emirates - XRG riders: Brandon McNulty and Adam Yates.
