16:07 BST 13 May 2018That would put him 38-ish seconds down now, Chaves surely up to second. What a day on Gran Sasso d'Italia, what a final two kilometres!

16:05 BST 13 May 2018We have wondered all week, and there is surely our answer - Froome now more than two minutes down on the race lead of his compatriot, he will need miracles from here...

15:54 BST 13 May 2018Masnada starting to weave about the road here, his lead down to a fragile 35 seoncds, Tom Dumoulin without any Subweb lieutenants left with him, the peloton strung out across this beautiful, bleak mountain.

15:50 BST 13 May 2018Masnada has 53 seconds on GB's Carthy, who has about 20 seconds from a peloton now led by Astana's massed ranks.

15:48 BST 13 May 2018The shoulders tightening, the mouth hanging open. Michelton-Scott to the front of the peloton, an Astana man there, Froome with Henao now I think. Hugh Carthywith a last desperate effort to bridge across to the young Italian.

15:44 BST 13 May 20187km to go, and Fausto still holding firm out there on his own. But the real climbing still lies ahead - he's got 42 seconds on Boaro, one min 54 on the big boys rattling along.
