Ciao ragazzi! Welcome to live coverage of the second rest day - sorry, I mean stage 10 - of the Giro d'Italia: a pan-flat 145km ride from Ravenna to Modena. If this doesn't end in a bunch sprint then the Pope doesn't s*** in the woods etc.

Japan's Hatsuyama was the lone breakaway in stage 3 last week, when Elia Viviani was adjudged to have deviated in the sprint and the win was given to Fernando Gaviria accordingly.
An attack from the outset comes from Sho Hatsuyama (Nippo-Vini Fantini) and Luca Covili (Bardiani-CSF). They clearly drew the short straw in their team buses this morning.

And a reminder of the top 10 following that telling time trial on Sunday.
A quick recap on the stage of play going into this second phase of La Corsa Rosa...
