After Saturday's stage 14 time trial to Valdobiaddene, the Giro d'Italia's 15th stage to Piancavallo provided another shake-up of the general classification, confirming Wilco Kelderman (Team Sunweb) as the main favourite for victory in Milan as a number of big names lost time in the Dolomites.

The Dutchman finished second on the day, two seconds down on Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers), and while he didn't take over the race lead, he's now firmly in the driving seat ahead of a tough final week full of mountain stages.
