Good morning and welcome to the
liveblog of the
Giro d'Italia. Today’s stage carries a very special meaning for one rider in particular, Filippo Ganna. Ganna was born in Verbania, the town hosting the finish of today’s stage. The sprinters will be eager to spoil the plans of the INEOS powerhouse, as this is their final opportunity before the race heads into the Alps. So stay with us and don’t miss a moment of another stage, live and minute by minute.
