Replays of the sprint finish actually show Demare open up early on the left-hand side of the road while Viviani follows Ewan on the right. When the Italian realises that he's following the wrong man, he swings across towards Demare but it's the Frenchman who takes a much needed win. Chapeau!

Nasty images of Pascal Ackermann approaching the line with his entire right-hand side - jersey, shorts and body - torn to shreds. Back at the epicentre of the crash, the entire Trek-Segafredo team have stopped and are clustered around Matteo Moschetti, who clearly came off very badly in that crash.

The Frenchman came from behind and powered past Viviani and Ewan to take his first win of the year - and his first ever on the Giro.

Groupama-FDJ now edging forward. Demare looking for his first win in 2019. Jumbo-Visma still setting the pace but Lotto-Soudal have come through alongside some orange from CCC.

QuickStep have formed their train for Viviani, Lotto for Ewan. Mitchelton-Scott and Jumbo-Visma are there for their GC men. Despite his teammates being up on the front, Viviani is quite far back and with Fabio Sabatini following Ewan's wheel.
6.5km
It's now all strung out after a series of roundabouts and Jumbo-Visma have come to the fore to keep their man Roglic out of trouble.

Through the 10km marker goes the peloton and still no one wants to make a move - quite understandably. The finish today is on a long 2.2km straight after a right-angle bend. We're hearing that the road also narrows on the home straight so positioning could be key.

A slightly ropey moment there as some riders almost went the wrong way. There was a touch of wheels in the confusion and Elia Viviani almost came down in the narrowly-avoided melee.

The riders have just passed a sign saying "Full Gas NOW". They are not adhering to the message.
