Good morning and welcome to the
liveblog of the
Giro d'Italia. Yesterday marked the return of the race after the second rest day and, despite the riders spending less time in the saddle, it was still a demanding day for the peloton. Today brings a long stage that could offer the breakaway a second victory of the race, although the general classification teams will certainly not allow too much freedom if they want to keep the race under control. We will see what the road has in store. So make sure to stay with us and follow all the action from the race live and minute by minute.
