Hello and welcome to live coverage of stage 14 of the Giro d'Italia - and it's a big one: the race hits the fabled Dolomites with a 210km ride from Alpago to Corvara that features a succession of six peaks, five of which rise to over 2,000 metres. Included amongst those climbs are the mythical Passo Pordoi and Passo Giau.

Highlights

16:30

Here's your new race leader, Steven Kruijswijk. The Dutchman has 41 seconds over Nibali, 1:32 on Chaves, 3:06 on Valverde and 3:15 on Amador.

0km

Here he is, the winner of the day - with the three others in his wake...

0km

Vincenzo Nibali crosses the line 36 seconds down on Chaves - it's by no means a disaster for the Shark, but he will be concerned at having been dropped by his rivals on the final climb - especially after putting in the first attack that dropped Valverde, the big loser of the day...

0km

Fourth place for Darwin Atapuma, who just has nothing left in the tank after being caught by his pursuers with 2km to go.

0km

Heartbreak for Georg Preidler, who seemed destined to take the win after opening up the sprint, but was pipped at the death. The Giant-Alpecin slams his hands on the bars in frustration as he crosses the line...

0km

Second place for Steven Kruijswijk of LottoNL-Jumbo who will take the maglia rosa tonight.

0km

It looked destined for one Colombian, but in the end it was another - Esteban Chaves of Orica-GreenEdge - who took a quite splendid win.

0km

The big Austrian leads on the final bend but Esteban Chaves jumps on the pedals and takes the win!

0.5km

Preidler takes it up...

1km

Who's going to win this? There are bonus seconds too - and whatever happens, Kruijswijk will be in pink.

1.8km

Kruijswijk and Chaves reach Atapuma, who latches in behind Preidler. Four leaders now, with Nibali and Siutsou at 15 seconds.

2km

Atapuma is going to be caught... heartbreak for the Colombian. The road is heading back uphill and he'll have nothing left in the tank when he's caught.

2.5km

Just 10 seconds for Atapuma, with Nibali as 25. They can all see each other...

3km

It looks like Atapuma will take his first win in three years... meanwhile, back with the Valverde group, Amador, the pink jersey, is pedalling squares on the Muro del Gatto.

4km

Atapuma is over the wall and now blasting down the descent towards the finish. Nibali has caught Suitsou.

4.5km

Nibali just 17 seconds behind now - the same advantage Atapuma has over the others. This is exciting.

5km

Here's that ramp - the Muro del Gatto, the Cat's Wall! Atapuma as 21 seconds to play with. Her has Chaves, Kruijswijk and Preidler in pursuit - Suitsou has been dropped.

6km

Atapuma getting in his best aero position as he bids to hold on. Remember, there's that 19% ramp coming up - that could be the death knell for the Colombian.

7.5km

The gaps are getting smaller and smaller. 25 seconds now for the four chasers and 52 for Nibali. The Valverde group is still over three minutes back so the Spanish veteran will slip down the standings while Amador will lose the pink jersey.

10km

Atapuma still has 35 seconds to play with over the four chasers, with Nibali a further 30 seconds back.
