Good morning folks, it's going to be an up and down day in the Dolomites as the destiny of the 2019 Giro d'Italia is all but decided. It's me, Tom Owen, n for Felix Lowe this weekend, as the big man is off on triathlon husband duties. It's a real thing, honest. You can find me on Twitter, @tomowencc...

Zorionak, Pello.
That's your new GC. Small shuffling of places but that barely tells the tale of a stage that saw a momentous shift in the power dynamics of this race.
Miguel Angel Lopez loses 1'50".
Roglic did everything he could to fight his way back into contention and looks to have blown up in the final metres. He crosses with a 54 second time loss to Landa, putting the Basque onto the GC podium.
Bilbao first. Landa second. Ciccone in third it looked like.
Pello Bilbao takes the victory!
Landa is outstripped by Bilbao.
Landa is sizing up Nibali...
They hit the flat bit before the finish.
Carapaz pace setting for Landa to try and ride his domestique onto the podium.
Flamme rouge for maglia rosa group.
Roglic is grinding hard 43 seconds behind. Lopez is about 40 seconds down on the Roglic group.
Carapaz looks so cool here. He's actually riding tempo while Landa sits on his wheel.
Nibali goes for another big acceleration and this time sheds Madouas and Kangert. Ciccone, Bilbao and the Movistar riders are equal to it though.
The Shark of Messina must be wondering what more he can do!
Kangert and Madouas also still in the lead group.
2km
Carapaz just pushes Landa through to the front as Nibali pulls off. Ciccone, Nieve, Bilbao are all still hanging in there.
Not good news for Lopez.
3km
Gritted teeth from Nibali as he does everything to shed Carapaz and Landa from his wheel.
Maglia rosa group has caught the leaders. They're one group now. Still a minute down for Lopez.
Here's that Lopez moment again. The Colombian understandably upset.
