Hello and welcome to another quiet day on the Giro d'Italia. Given the monotonous tedium of this oh-so-boring 101st edition of La Corsa Rosa, not much will happen in this 214km Stage 20 from Susa to Cervinia, which features the final three big climbs of the race and will decide once and for all the outcome of the maglia rosa.

The final GC will look a lot like this with Davide Formolo climbing into the top 10 following Thibaut Pinot's collapse.

And here's Chris Froome coming home to secure an historic win...

Here's Mikel Nieve taking the win earlier for Mitchelton-Scott...

Chris Froome has all but won the 101st edition of the Giro d'Italia!

Carapaz and Lopez are caught on the home straight and it's Poels and Froome who come through and lead this group of GC favourites over the line.

They're on the close straight now...

Gianluca Brambilla is the latest rider from the break to cross the line, 5'22" down. Dumoulin still pulling but it's no can do...

Ciccone has come home for fourth place - he won't be in the maglia azzurra tonight, although he'll wear it tomorrow in place of Froome, who'll be in pink. Carapaz leads Lopez still but there's nothing separating them and so it will be the Colombian, not the Ecuadorian, who takes the final place on the podium and wins the white jersey.

Dumoulin now has Oomen pulling - but he's running out of road. It won't be enough and the defending champion is going to finish second in this Giro...

Meanwhile, back at the finish Robert Gesink rides over to take second place for LottoNL-Jumbo around 2'20" down. He must have overtaken Felix Grosschartner - yes, here he comes for third place, 2'45" down.

Attack from Richard Carapaz! Lopez latches on and the two South Americans dance clear. Carapaz made that attack just as many fans were running along with flares and fancy dress.

Now let's get back to the GC riders who still have 3km left to ride. Dumoulin is on the front but has both Froome and Poels on his wheel.

Victory for Mikel Nieve (Mitchelton-Scott) on his 34th birthday! Yesterday was heart break for his team, today they have their fifth win of the race.

Mikel Nieve goes under the flamme rouge with the win in sight. He's crested the top of the climb and it's now the false flat towards the finish...

Dumoulin is back! And so too are Oomen and Poels... so each of the two pink jersey rivals have a team-mate for the final few kilometres...

Meanwhile, Mikel Nieve continues his solo ride towards stage glory... The GC favourites have entered another tunnel with Froome closing back on...

The two groups have come together and it's Carapaz who sets the tempo with Dumoulin still in pursuit.

Froome rides with Carapaz and Lopez now, with Pozzovivo and Formolo a bit behind and Dumoulin and Oomen further back. They pass under the 5km to go banner.

As Froome surges clear of Dumoulin, the Dutchman shakes his head - has he conceded defeat? The others ride past him and this looks like the end for the defending champion...
