Along with those two jerseys, Del Toro takes over in the points classification as well thanks to his intermediate sprint efforts. Possibly a jersey he will take all the way to San Benedetto del Tronto.

Alpecin-Premier Tech just waiting behind Decathlon-CMA CGM on the left of the peloton with 4km to go. They have numbers there ready for Jasper Philipsen.

2026-03-11T14:56:43.773Z
The riders may have thought they had seen the back of the rain but it has returned as multiple teams come to the front to try and hold control with various teams in colour order to prepare the bunch gallop.
2026-03-11T14:55:12.216Z

Bike change for Oliver Naesen (Decathlon-CMA CGM).
2026-03-11T14:11:13.821Z
Keeping up on eating and drinking in these conditions is key. It is so easy to forget about fuelling yourself. Lidl-Trek seem well on top of things today.

Intermediate sprint (Casette)
2026-03-11T14:05:56.402Z
Puncture for Filippo Fiorelli (Visma-Lease a Bike)
2026-03-11T14:03:07.594Z
The rain was absolutely hammering it down for that intermediate sprint and, as they roll out of town, the rain stops.
2026-03-11T14:02:20.026Z
Danny van Poppel (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) took the intermediate sprint. I think it was Alan Hetherly or Andrea Vendrame of Jayco-AlUla in second and Del Toro taking one second bonus in third.

About 20km to the intermediate sprint in Casette with potentially key three, two and one bonus second(s) up for grabs.
2026-03-11T13:25:33.805Z
The average speed has crept up a little bit to 38kph after three and a half hours of racing.
2026-03-11T13:20:42.615Z
Racing was neutralised as there was a closed railway crossing. So, instead of stooping the riders, the race decided to slow them down to allow the train to pass and the crossing to reopen.
2026-03-11T13:17:31.527Z
Racing resumes. It isn’t clear as to why the race was neutralised other than maybe just making sure the riders got down the descent safely.

If you were following the live page yesterday you will have seen the interview from Thymen Arensman (Ineos Grenadiers) where he voiced his concerns about the gravel. And, despite saying he loves the surface, it seemingly doesn’t share the feeling as his worse fears came true with a crash seeing him lose a minute and a half on his rivals.

2026-03-11T13:07:09.097Z
Wout Van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) deliberately took it easy in the opening time trial to go all in for stage 2 yesterday, but poor positioning and bad decisions led to yet more frustration for the Belgian…
(Image credit: Getty Images)
2026-03-11T13:02:31.487Z
No riders left the race after yesterday’s stage despite the crashes with Lennert Van Eetvelt (Lotto-Intermarche) remaining the only rider to leave the race after DNSing on stage 2 due to injuries suffered at Strade Bianche.
2026-03-11T12:59:49.793Z
Del Toro having to shake his hands to try and get some blood into them and warm them up. He’s had gloves on for so long that they no longer work to warm his hands. Wet weather gear constantly needs changing.
2026-03-11T12:57:48.223Z
The riders are taking all the corners very gingerly as the Italian asphalt is like ice in the wet.

2026-03-11T12:42:18.284Z
The weather isn’t great with the riders at the moment, but the roads are dry at the finish at the moment.
2026-03-11T12:40:32.960Z
Just about half way through the stage.

Jonathan Milan spoke to TV before the start… “We are really committed. I really like the course. I will not have many other chances so we will try out best to control the race and hopefully we will have support from other teams as the stage is really long.
2026-03-11T12:07:46.211Z

KOM Standings top 5
2026-03-11T11:58:25.923Z
It does appear that Sevilla has sat up and is indeed waiting for the peloton now that he has taken maximum points on the KOM sprint and now leads out right ahead of Bou.
2026-03-11T11:57:36.602Z
KOM (Todi)
2026-03-11T11:50:49.806Z
140km to go
2026-03-11T11:50:10.506Z
Sevilla has been with the Polti-Visit Malta team for his entire career starting 2013 when the team was still just a club called Specialized-Fundación Alberto Contador and included the likes of Enric Mas and Fernando Barcelo. The 30-year-old is still waiting for his first victory in the pro ranks.
2026-03-11T11:42:53.532Z
The Spaniard has just over three minutes on the rest of the field now as his job is done for the day. Will he sit up and wait for the peloton?

The usual suspects of Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier (Lidl-Trek) and Silvan Dillier (Alpecin-Premier Tech) are joined by Ayco Bastiaens (Soudal-QuickStep) at the front of the peloton.

The gap dips under five minutes for the first time in a while with under 100 miles of racing left.
2026-03-11T11:16:45.951Z
Lidl-Trek, Alpecin-Premier Tech, Visma-Lease a Bike, Soudal-QuickStep and UAE Team Emirates-XRG are sharing the work at the front of the peloton as they look to set up their sprinters and keep their GC leaders safe.

2026-03-11T11:14:01.157Z
The main story features on our home page this morning is our interview with Adam Yates. The UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider talks about life at the mega team, working for Tadej Pogačar, competing with the best and more. Why not take a look in the link below…

2026-03-11T11:09:14.733Z
25km to go until the KOM at Todi.
2026-03-11T11:08:24.161Z
Sevilla started the day on five points in the KOM classification, but, because Van der Poel won the stage yesterday, the Dutch rider also has five points and wears the jersey because of that.
2026-03-11T11:00:00.461Z
170km to go
2026-03-11T10:55:03.629Z
30km to the KOM sprint.

50km of racing done for Sevilla who has a gap of five and a half minutes.
2026-03-11T10:52:32.835Z
The weather is absolutely miserable for the riders. Max Walscheid (Lidl-Trek) is clearly not a fan, however, his teammate Jonathan Milan seems to be in good spirits despite the rain.

2026-03-11T10:48:00.520Z
After an hour of racing, the time gap begins the fall for Sevilla as the peloton peg him back to five minutes and 15 seconds.

It is a very lonely day out for the man from San Martín de la Vega in Spain…

2026-03-11T10:30:26.468Z
Almost four minutes for Sevilla now.
2026-03-11T10:20:55.090Z
200km to go
2026-03-11T10:12:46.792Z
This is going to be a very long day out for Sevilla as his KOM rivals will likely just wait for the KOM to come to them and take the minor points rather than, in their eyes, waste energy for the more challenging Muri stages to come.
2026-03-11T10:11:21.430Z
The gap continues to extend for the Polti-Visit Malta rider as he has a gap of one minute and 20 seconds on the peloton.
2026-03-11T10:07:27.406Z
There is about 70km to the only KOM point of the day. Sevilla has a long way to go.
2026-03-11T10:04:14.826Z
Sevilla now has a minute on the peloton.
2026-03-11T09:59:46.434Z
Attack!
2026-03-11T09:51:04.278Z
After 10 minutes of racing the race is still all together.
2026-03-11T09:41:33.684Z
221km to go
2026-03-11T09:40:39.229Z
There are only two points of interest for the breakaway today. The 2.3km climb at Todi and the intermediate sprint at Casette.
2026-03-11T09:33:01.869Z
Unfortunately for the riders, the rain has started to fall at the start.
2026-03-11T09:31:55.805Z

2026-03-11T09:14:48.782Z
If it wasn’t for the fact that there are so many world class sprinters in attendance, I’d say the break would have a good chance. But, with the names riding such as Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek), Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Premier Tech), Paul Magnier (Soudal-QuickStep) and Tobias Lound Andresen (Decathlon-CMA CGM), it is easy to see why the sprinters are the favoured riders for the day.
2026-03-11T09:10:26.334Z
Today should be the first opportunity for the fast men. However, it won’t be without it’s challenges. The weather remains possibly damp and the route isn’t completely flat, either. Not to mention that it is the longest stage of this year’s race at 221km.
