Ciao ragazzi! Welcome to live coverage of stage 16 of the Giro d'Italia. We've had the second rest day and now it's business time: three summit finish remain in this race clustered around one day offering some scraps to the sprinters, then there's the small matter of the final time trial in Verona, which could be key.

Here's the list of riders in the break: Dombrowski, Nieve, Ciccone, Masnada, Cattaneo, Caruso, Hirt, Amador, Bilbao, Bidard, Ulissi, Hindley, Bouwman, Villella, Owsian, Juul Jensen, A. Nibali, Ventoso, Brown, Schwarzmann and Honoré. The gap is up to two minutes.

The initial five riders who sparked this move were Chris Juul-Jensen (Mitchelton-Scott), Davide Villella (Astana), Michael Schwarzmann (Bora-Hansgrohe), Mikkel Honoré (Deceuninck-QuickStep), Jai Hindley (Team Sunweb). It looks like Movistar have sent Andrey Amador up the road as well. Bob Jungels, Gianluca Brambilla and Antwan Tolhoek tried to get into the move but failed to bridge over. The gap is small and the pace high so no guarantees this move will stick.

More riders join the leaders as the road continues to head uphill on this uncategorised climb that kicks things off today, the Passo della Presolana.

Five riders zip clear shortly after the start. They're followed by a couple of big names in Damiano Caruso (Bahrain Merida) and Pello Bilbao (Astana).

They're off! The remaining 147 riders get this key stage under way. One non-starter to report: Brent Bookwalter of Mitchelton-Scott.

The riders are currently pedalling through the neutral zone ahead of today's start.

It's a wet morning at Lovere on the banks of the Lago d'Iseo.

My predicted final top 10 in Verona... do you agree? 1. Nibali, 2. Carapaz, 3. Yates, 4. Lopez, 5. Landa, 6. Roglic, 7. Majka, 8. Sivakov, 9. Mollema, 10. Formolo

Here's the state of play in the battle for pink with that man Richard Carapaz sitting pretty on the top of the pile.

First up is today's fascinating stage 16. It was billed at the queen stage when it included the Passo di Gavia ahead of the Mortirolo, but heavy snow on the summit of that famous climb means it's been taken off the route and replaced with two smaller climbs - the Cevo (being used for the first time) and the Aprica. The upshot is that it may be even more explosive - so buckle yourself in for an exciting one.
