Giro d'Italia leader Steven Kruijswijk extended advantage at the top of the general classification as Vincenzo Nibali had trouble (had to change bicycle during the race)
Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) had started the stage as Kruijswijk’s closest rival, 41 seconds adrift overall. However, disaster struck for the Italian favourite as he dropped his chain and his rear derailleur appeared to get snapped off the frame.Despite a swift bike change from the Astana mechanic, Nibali was already off the pace. He then had an issue with a spectator getting too close, shoving the running fan to one side. He ended the stage in 25th place and 2-10 down on Kruijswijk.

tomorrow i am out nearly all day (I might make for the bell trading) so here is tomorrow stage

Thursday, May 26
From Muggio
To Pinerolo
Length 244km
Category Flat
Impact on GC 2/5

This long transition stage takes the riders westwards towards the Alps, on a day that offers modest opportunities to gain time for anyone still within shot of the pink jersey.
A largely flat opening 200km bursts into life with the 7km, 7.5 per cent Pra Martino, which seems to have been included to tempt attacks, although it’s unlikely any of the big names would be willing to use up so much energy with such a long-range attack, especially with a potentially risky downhill to the finish.
If the GC contenders do indeed ride conservatively, this could be a chance for decent climbers with an aggressive pedigree and strong descending skills to contest for the win, whether from a breakaway at the start of the day or with an attack from the peloton.
