Good morning everyone. It's another individual time trial day. And in true Giro fashion, it isn't easy. Tim Bonville-Ginn here again for the stage, will Valerio Conti keep pink? And how much time can the likes of Roglic put into him going into the rest day? Well, yesterday, it was the longest stage of the race, described as a mini Milan - San Remo, it was a tough ride but it was the pocket rocket from Lotto Soudal, Caleb Ewan, who came across the line with his arms in the air.

This is what the GC looks like. Wow. Just wow. A wonderful ride by Roglic. Great performance by Conti too.
Valerio Conti keeps pink! 3'34" gap. So, that is inside 2 minutes to Roglic now.
This isn't just rain, this could be the next big flood! Where's Noah and his arc? Vile weather. Rojas coming across in the clouds and rain. He won't be taking pink, that's for sure.
Nans Peters will be the new wearer of the white jersey. Carboni losing 5'23" gap.
Here is what the top 10 on the day looks like. I can't see it changing either.
Conti doing a fine job.
We can announce that Primoz Roglic will win today's stage.
Conti is doing an excellent job. He's 2'35" down on Roglic. Looking good to keep pink I think.
He's just pacing this as he needs to, he'll be keeping this for quite a few days if you think about the stages coming up. Conti will start losing times in the mountains but he may hold it there for a day or 2.
This is what the times are like for the main GC contenders
Ah the weather has descended on San Marino again. Amador is just over 2 mins down on Roglic. Good rider, he's very much still up there.
11km to go for the pink jersey by the way. Conti is doing a good job here, but has he gone too deep?
Sam Oomen has lost 3'39"! Nightmare for him, but, he's stilll up there thanks to his breakaway antics earlier in the week.
A very happy Primoz Roglic clenches his fist in celebration.
Bilbao loses 1'33" on Roglic, good ride from him.
I still have the wind taken out of me with that Yates time.
Lopez and Yates have got to be very very active in these next 2 weeks.
Primoz Roglic - 1st - 51'52"! Wow! 1'00" into Mollema and 1'05" into Nibali. Yates losing 3'11"!!!
Gallopin losing 4'10".
Formolo is about to be caught by Roglic!! Ooh my word! This looks amazing!
He could smash Campenaerts here! He has the stage, I'm certain.
Campenaerts looks so disappointed/angry.
Here comes Simon Yates. Ah, this isn't good. He's losing a lot of time!
I think he went way to hard out of the blocks. He is really slipping now. This is a disaster.
3'00"! Over 2 minutes lost to Nibali! That is a huge shock!!
The curse of me picking him for today. I'm so sorry guys.
Lopez losing 2 and a half minutes to Lopez and Mollema! An absolute disaster for the Astana man.
Vincenzo Nibali of Bahrain Merida is coming into the finish. He will not win the stage but he may beat Mollema.
Slower than Mollema! 54" down on Campenaerts. 3rd at the moment for him. That was a wonderful ride from him. He has nearly caught Lopez!
Majka coming to the line, not awful from him, 1'53" down on the leader. Yates has 5km to go.
Jungels is in 5th by the way, not putting much time into the other GC men, Carthy is very close to him, for eaxmple.
