That seems like a huge gap but there are still 130 points up for grabs today. The break is closing in on Prato where we have the intermediate sprint. Anyone who wants to end up in pink in Milan had better take it from the Portuguese's shoulders today, or risk not taking it at all... De Gendt and Guerreiro are reeled in by the other escapees on the descent and the 15 riders have 1'35" on the maglia rosa group. Your browser is not supported by Eurosport. What a ride that was from the Australian, who thoroughly deserves that prize. Things may settle now as they approach the foot of the climb and emkark on the flat-to-lumpy transition towards the foot of the next climb.

Rohan Dennis leads his teammate out to win the intermediate sprint - and those three bonus seconds (to Hindley's one) put the British rider ahead of the Australian on GC in the virtual standings. Looking back at that strange moment earlier, the race leader used it as a chance to drop back for a call of nature. There's going to be a huge mix-up in the top 10 tonight. The large break has now merged with the pink jersey group and so we now have a "peloton" of around 40 riders. They are Fabio Felline (Astana), Stephane Rossetto (Cofidis), Daniel Navarro (Israel Start-Up Nation), Thomas De Gendt (Lotto Soudal, Dario Cataldo (Movistar) and Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers). We're still 44km from the summit of the climb, with the climb proper starting in 20km. He eventually manages to get it on - but that will put him out of the frame for the Cima Coppi I'd think... Fuglsang and Bilbao ride together 1'40" down on the three leaders, who are preparing themselves for the descent - picking up jackets for the wind chill on the descent. Still no gap.

But can Hindley have his say and upset the Ineos applecart, give Sunweb something to shout about at the end of the day after all? Volg de het laatste sportnieuws. Also dropped are Majka and Bilbao. Prisonnier des flammes durant 28 secondes avant de s'en extirper, Romain Grosjean avait des allures de superhéros, dimanche lors de l'impressionnant accident qu'il a eu au départ du Grand Prix de Bahreïn. Tensions clearly rising in the Quick-Step camp as their race falls apart. Vincenzo Nibali edged ahead and looked to have a small dig, while James Knox of Quick-Step gesticulated towards the shrinking Sunweb presence before rallying his teammates to take up position. The remaining 135 riders in the race are making their way through the neutral zone ahead of today's decisive 207km stage.

The British rider from Ineos is in fourth, one second behind Kelderman's Sunweb teammate Jai Hindley, who is 2'58" down on Almeida. 12,837 talking about this. Shades of the 2018 Giro here with Almeida in the Yates role and Kelderman in Dumoulin's shoes and Geoghegan Hart playing the Froome role. Big news coming through - there will be no place in the peloton today for the Italian veteran, who lost the blue jersey yesterday to Ruben Guerreiro. The gap has come down to 2'10" with Sunweb leading the chase and setting the tempo on this long false flat approach to the Stelvio... We're hearing from the commentary team that Manuele Boaro has pulled out of the race but there's no confirmation of that yet on Astana's website or Twitter page.

Kelderman, meanwhile, is only 30 seconds back, so he's still on course for the pink jersey. But with the withdrawal of Visconti, it looks to be a very one-sided battle for blue. Ineos have two riders up the road in Ganna and Swift, but it looks like they won't be out for much longer: the gap is just 1'35" now. Hindley, I hasten to add, failed to zip up his jacket and so he's having a bit of a shocker, in all fairness. With Ben O'Connor there, Guerreiro has concerns for his maglia azzurra. That shows how frantic the start to this stage has been. The Australian is caught and passed by this fearsome trio. Stage 18 is under way. The tempo from Sunweb is infernal as all the break are swept up except O'Connor and Pedrero. He has apparently been struggling with tendonitis in his knee. This 15-man break is an interesting move and could play a role in the fight for pink behind. The leaders are now onto the highest climb of this year's race - the Cat.1 Passo Stelvio (24.8km at 7.4%). Can De Gendt double up on the Cima Coppi today? The mind games have started between Geoghegan Hart and Hindley - the latter won't work because he has Kelderman behind, whereas for the former, he's probably now thinking more about a second stage win rather than the pink jersey.

That day, the climb was being ridden from the western ascent from Bormio; eight years on, we're approaching it from the north-east side. This lead group has five former Giro stage winners: De Gendt, Cataldo, Guerreiro, Ganna and O'Connor. Kelderman has rallied a little and hasn't let Fuglsang and Bilbao out of his sight.

Pink jersey Joao Almeida (Deceuninck Quick-Step) surrounded by his GC rivals during Stage 17 of the Giro d'Italia 2020. The Portuguese 22-year-old debutant is four days away from glory - but so was Simon Yates in 2018 and we all know what happened to him in Stage 19 on the Colle delle Finestre. With the Agnello and Izoard removed from Saturday's Stage 20, today's ascent of the Stelvio will be the acid test for Joao Almeida and his Quick-Step team. Bradley Wiggins says that the general classification contenders at the Giro d’Italia are fearful of the upcoming ascent of the Stelvio. Grosjean reprend ainsi la création d'un dessinateur qui lui avait soumis son oeuvre sur Twitter. You'd expect him to be fresher and to take the win, but you never know... Geoghegan drives the pace again as they approach the summit - and it's the British rider who takes the points over the top before entering the tunnel. The gap back to Bilbao is 43 seconds and to Kelderman now almost two minutes. The gap is 1'15". On the other side, the Lakes of Cancano. This is where Dennis will come into his own again - pacing his man to the foot of the climb. That puts him ahead of Simon Pellaud in the breakaway classification. Nico Denz the German is the latest to peel off for Sunweb, with the advantage of the breakaway down to 2'20". Speaking on the latest episode of The Breakaway, Bradley Wiggins revealed that he had spoken to Ineos leader Tao Geoghegan Hart after Wednesday’s Stage 17 and passed on some of the insight from the British rider. What a day for Team Sunweb, who managed to handle a difficult situation really well to turn things round and come out with the advantage over Ineos Grenadiers.

As things stand, Almeida holds a slender 17-second lead on Wilco Kelderman, who put the pink jersey under serious pressure on that stage to Piancavallo won by Tao Geoghegan Hart. The gap is 2'25" back to the main pack. Ineos, Quick-Step and Sunweb all have riders on the front of the pack, which trails the break by 3'55" now. And we wait for Wilco Kelderman to see if it's him or teammate Hindley in pink tonight... Geoghegan Hart has the inside on the final bend and opens up the sprint, but the Australian comes through on the outside to take a maiden Grand Tour stage win. The insatiable Thomas De Gendt kicks clear to win the intermediate sprint at Prato - he wants everything today. The pace has eased again as the riders taken on musettes and fill up the tank ahead of this key climb which is looming. It's going to come down to the final climb - will he be cold after this descent and his absence of jacket? Eurosport 15/11/2020 at 13:55 | Updated 15/11/2020 at 15:53 Chloe Dygert has apologised for her conduct on social media after she reportedly liked discriminatory posts on Twitter in the summer. The leading group has grown to 15 with the arrival of Ruben Guerreiro and a handful of others. He's still the virtual maglia rosa on the road and can recoup a bit of time on the descent. Some of the break have been caught, in fact. Let's start with this shot of the north side from the now-retired photographer Graham Watson, who was once part of the peloton furniture in all major races. The road goes uphill from the outset with the first climb, which is a steady grind of 5.8% over 14.2km. And in 2013, of course, the Stelvio was cancelled owing to poor weather. Here's our man Matt Stephens with some more info on this final climb following his recce this morning... As the road ramps up ahead of the final climb, Dennis peels off, his stupendous work for the day done. The Nibali-Fuglsang-Bilbao-Novac group is 1'08" down. It's a huge long shot that the Belgian can overturn Guerreiro's KOM lead but he'll give it a go.

Behind, Kelderman has completely popped. So, too, was Steven Kruijswijk a few years before that - and by a far larger margin - when Vincenzo Nibali fought back. Perhaps the Nibali acceleration was one of the Shark's notorious pieces of mind games? Riders have gone off the back, but none off the front. They will both know that there's another stage in the mountains on Saturday, plus the time trial. A lot of people were fearful of pushing the envelope a little bit too much today and paying for their efforts tomorrow.".
