Guillermo SILVA. 10 with honors. Scaroni takes him under his wing and pilots him like a true pilot fish. Perfect timing, they rejoin the leading four just in time to score. Scaroni (rating 10) knows it, he's understood everything: he takes him by the arm and leads him there, where he absolutely cannot fail: there's only the ball to guide into the net almost into an empty goal and the South American does it well. The band of the sky blues is there to see, you can see one much better, because now it's also tinted with pink.

Florian STORK. 8. The German from Tudor doesn't mess around at all, he does everything damn well and all the way through. For nothing he doesn't take it all, but Silva got the run-up.

Giulio CICCONE. 8. He doesn't have the pace to keep up with the unleashed Vingegaard and the resilient Pellizzari, but Giulio has the head to always fight no matter what. It seems everything is lost, then at the end he almost goes to take it all.

Christian SCARONI. 10. He plays the director without a film camera: he has everything in his head. It's enough for him to raise his head to understand what needs to be done.

Matteo SOBRERO. 7.5. He switches to support mode for Cicco and helps him.

Jonas VINGEGAARD. 8. The Dane is here to win and he makes it clear immediately. On the first real climb of the Giro, that of the Monastery, he does what he wants, with assassin-like accelerations that shatter the group. Technical demonstrations of competition: the Dane is here.

Giulio PELLIZZARI. 8. He follows him like a shadow and doesn't stretch out even a little: he's always there, nicely glued on. The "king fisherman" takes off and he responds in kind. He's here to prove he has legs and head. Clear, we're at the second stage, but if the good day is seen from the morning, the shadow won't become night.

Lennert VAN EETVELT. 5.5. He's quick, very quick to grab the wheel in the final of Vingegaard and Pellizzari, but then he plays for time. He wants to win big and if he gets to the sprint he really has the chance to win big. Instead he thinks it's best to leave the weight of the escape to just two men in the general classification: everything is fine, but he has the chance to bring home the stage. In the end, he who wants too much gets nothing.

Davide PIGANZOLI. 8. He must launch his captain and in the final everything is dynamite, he lights the fuse.

Egan BERNAL. 7. Slyly he brings home the 6" bonus from the Red Bull Km. In the general classification he's there, 3rd at 4".

Jan CHRISTEN. 6.5. The young Swiss guy (he's 21 years old) is all pepper and distinctive. He shows himself and damns himself, tries to fight the wind on a black, very black day for UAE Emirates. After losing Almeida before even starting, the team today plays in one fell swoop Vine and Soler who are forced to go back home not before passing through the hospital. Adam Yates isn't doing much better either: he arrives at the finish line with a face that's a mask of blood and a delay of over 13'. The Giro is over.

Diego Pablo SEVILLA. 10. Paul has the pink jersey, Pablo the blue one. In truth Paul Magnier must give it up at the end of the stage, the Spanish rider from Polti Visit Malta after yet another monstrous escape strengthens his best climber classification: the Mediolanum blue jersey is his. And he takes it to Italy.

Mirco MAESTRI. 9. Paperino is a master of attacks and escapes, resistance and alliances. Here there's little to ally with: he has only one teammate to protect and help: he does it brilliantly.

Matteo MOSCHETTI. 17. He had very different plans, like many, like everyone. Yesterday he ended up in the fan of a nasty sprint and he came out with broken wings. He was thinking of very different records, he brings home that of first retired from the Giro, due to a concussion.

Wout WEYLANDT. 108. Victim of a tragic crash along the descent of the Bocco Pass, in the Isola di Borgonovo di Mezzanego section in the third stage of the 2011 Giro, the boy from Ghent loses his life at just 27 years old. The pink race, since then, has retired his number 108. Today Luca Guercilena's Lidl Trek remembered him by racing with a mourning band on their arm.
