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.

Van Aert said before the start that today’s stage was “perfect preparation for Milan-Sanremo” but he does not sound keen on sprinting today.

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.

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…

>>> ‘Very disappointed, I made a few wrong choices’ – Does Wout van Aert have positioning issues to address before the major Classics after another missed opportunity?

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.

One thing that we will see today is the first battle between on-form Magnier and Milan in a bunch sprint.

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

Diego Pablo Sevilla has been caught by the peloton. The race is all together with over 120km to go.

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.

2026-03-11T11:50:10.506Z

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?

2026-03-11T11:41:44.389Z

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.

150km to go

2026-03-11T11:21:30.031Z

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.

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…

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.

2026-03-11T10:55:03.629Z

30km to the KOM sprint.

2026-03-11T10:54:33.463Z

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.

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

It was a brilliant ride by Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Premier Tech) yesterday to take an amazing win in San Gimignano…

It was a very good day in the GC battle for Del Toro and Pellizzari and they took potentially crucial time on their rivals in the battle for the GC…

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.
