Giro d’Italia stage 13 live: The flattest sprint stage awaits

Refresh

Anyway, I’ll leave you until the action gets going. Go have a cappuccino before the time cut-off.

Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) is currently the man in purple, leading the points classification. He’ll be the man to beat, you would imagine, although there are quite a few sprinters at this race. Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) has threatened to win, Tim Merlier (Soudal Quick-Step) already has pocketed one, and Laurence Pithie (Groupama-FDJ) could come through today. 

Here’s the general classification, although this is unlikely to change today, obviously.

Whatever happens, today’s stage is unlikely to be as exciting as yesterday, where Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal Quick-Step) won after taking part in a two-man escape with Mirco Maestri (Polti Kometa) for well over 100km. The Frenchman’s win was rather popular.

The stage begins at 1310 local time, which means in about 90 minutes for us in the UK. How will you occupy yourself during the racing today? 

If you take a look at the stage profile above, you’ll notice that there is barely a bump across the 179km stage, so it might be a very fast one, depending how the wind blows.
