Giro d'Italia stage 14 - Live coverage

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of stage 14 of the Giro d'Italia, a hilly day out in Piedmont.

The teams are signing in at the moment on the stage in Santena.

A reminder of yesterday's results and the GC standings heading into stage 14.

This man Juan Pedro López is in pink once again today. He holds a slim 12-second advantage over Richard Carapaz and João Almeida – can he hold them off on this challenging stage?

Sprinters Cees Bol (Team DSM) and Giacomo Nizzolo (Israel-Premier Tech) aren't taking the start today. No surprise given the lack of chances left for them in this race.

Stage 18 in Treviso is the only sprint stage remaining in the Giro.

Alpecin-Fenix rider Alexander Krieger is also out of the running after falling ill overnight.

Under 10 minutes to the start of the stage now.

Jumbo-Visma man Pascal Eenkhoorn wears the red numbers as the most combative rider from stage 13...

This year, that award is voted for by fans on Twitter.

Meanwhile, Eenkhoorn also took our rider of the day honours yesterday, as voted for by me.

Giro d'Italia rider of the day: Eenkhoorn drives the break to the edge of glory

It's Mark Cavendish's 37th birthday today. Not a stage for him but he's racing on in the hope he can add to his stage 3 victory in a few days.

The 160 remaining riders roll out to start stage 14.

A 7.3km neutral zone before the real start.

We're still waiting for the flag to drop here.

147km to go

And now the flag is dropped and the race is underway.

Attacks going from the very start.

145km to go

Mathieu van der Poel is on the move!

Back on stage 8, Van der Poel attacked at the start and basically didn't stop going until the break was formed and away. 

Once again, he's pushing on at the front here. Will he do the same and just keep riding until more riders make it across to him?

Riders from Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert, Astana Qazaqstan, EF Education-EasyPost at the front of the peloton as riders continue to try and jump away.

142km to go

Unlike stage 8, however, the start to today's stage is quite a flat one. First (unclassified hills) coming between 17 and 25km into the stage.

Van der Poel is riding around 20 seconds up on the peloton here.

15 seconds officially.

Pascal Eenkhoorn (Jumbo-Visma) is on the move yet again! He was in the break for the past two days...

Eduardo Sepùlveda (Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli) is with Eenkhoorn, just a few seconds up on the peloton.

139km to go

Van der Poel has 20 seconds now. Eenkhoorn and Sepùlveda still have a small gap on the peloton.

Van der Poel has knocked it off a little. 10 seconds now as more attacks go behind.

136km to go

Mauro Schmid (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl) jumps now. Eenkhoorn and Sepùlveda were brought back.

Natnael Tesfatsion (Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli) among the riders towards the front of the peloton.

Now Rein Taaramäe (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert) is up to Van der Poel, though they're just a few seconds up on the peloton.

133km to go

Still no breakaway established today.

More riders jump at the front.

Nico Denz (Team DSM) has crashed in the peloton.

Five riders at the front now as Van der Poel has been brought back.

Van der Poel's Oscar Riesebeek is out there. Alessandro Covi (UAE Team Emirates), Alessandro Tonelli (Bardiani-CSF-Faizanè) are also in the small move.

130km to go

The trio are joined by Anthony Perez (Cofidis) and Simone Ravanelli (Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli).

Eenkhoorn attacks once again from the peloton.

Still more moves at the front. Not settled at all yet.

Riesebeek, Covi, Tonelli, Perez, Ravanelli don't have much of an advantage now as they hit the first unclassified climb.

Mauri Vansevenant (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl) makes it across. 

And it's basically all back together again.

127km to go

Still more attacks fly but it's all lined out in the peloton.

A short downhill before the next unclassified climb.

Trek-Segafredo, Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert and Astana Qazaqstan very active at the head of the race.

Taaramäe, Felline, Vansevenant, Ciccone among those at the front.

That small group didn't make it away. Back uphill now.

Big power being pushed at the start of this stage. Taaramäe has maxed out at 960 watts, averaging 350 so far, while Lennard Kämna has peaked at 1080 watts.

Average speed of 47.5kph for the pair over 24km so far.

122km to go

Riders still pushing it at the front but there's still no separation from the peloton. Fabio Felline (Astana Qazaqstan) takes it up on the hill.

10km to go until the first classified climb of the day – Il Pilonetto (3.6km at 7.2%).

119km to go

There's still no breakaway here. Maglia azzurra Diego Rosa (Eolo-Kometa) is among the riders trying to get away now.

Van der Poel is up there again. Simon Yates (BikeExchange-Jayco), too.

Felline, Harm Vanhoucke (Lotto Soudal), Magnus Cort (EF-EasyPost) also there.

Ineos Grenadiers pushing the peloton behind as it looks like there has been a split.

115km to go

Yep, a definite split in the peloton here.

Around 5-10 seconds between the halves of the peloton. Now the attackers have been joined by the first half.

Tom Dumoulin is among the riders who missed the split. No word on any GC names.

Now a small group is out front, another larger group of 30-40 behind, then the remainder of the peloton left behind in the split.

Nine riders up front.

111km to go

Ineos continue to drive the main peloton behind the attack group. Natnael Tesfatsion gets a wheel change after stopping with a gear problem.

Lorenzo Rota, Mauri Vansevenant, Nicolas Prodhomme, Oscar Riesebeek, Oier Lazkano, Sylvain Moniquet, Harold Tejada, Chris Hamilton, Fabio Felline are out front at the moment. Small gap to the peloton.

Simon Yates attacks again.

And Yates gets across.

Yates finished 7:44 down yesterday and now lies over 19 minutes down on GC, so he's no threat at all.

Now the leaders hit Il Pilonetto. More riders attack from the peloton behind.

Around 5-7 riders have jumped across. Two Bora-Hansgsrohe men are in there now.

108km to go

And now it looks like the front of the race is all back together.

Yates attacks again on the climb. Cort with him.

Yates, Cort, Tejada up front. Kämna and Moniquet are there too.

Diego Rosa is trying to get across, too.

Rosa has Koen Bouwman, Lilian Calmejane, and two more with him.

Now the five up front have been joined by more riders, but the peloton isn't far behind... There isn't much separation between these groups again now.

106km to go

Dozens of riders falling out the back of the peloton already.

All back together now...

We're towards the final stretch of the climb now. Joe Dombrowski (Astana Qazaqstan) puts in an attack.

Rosa at the front of the peloton.

Ignatas Konovalovas (Groupama-FDJ) is chasing Dombrowski.

104km to go

Dombrowski and Konovalovas out front, maybe 5-10 seconds up. Rosa chasing with a Bardiani rider.

Rosa makes it across in the final 100 metres of the climb.

He sprints past and takes the nine points over the top. A very well timed jump.

Meanwhile, more riders drop out the back of the peloton.

Filippo Zana is the Bardiani man up front.

More men jump off the front on the way down to join the Dombrowski attack.

101km to go

Rosa now has 92 points in the KOM competition. Koen Bouwman is second on 69 points.

Tom Dumoulin has abandoned the Giro d'Italia.

159 riders left in the race.

Dumoulin has been suffering with back pain in recent days so this abandon isn't much of a surprise.

So it's Joe Dombrowski (Astana Qazaqstan), Diego Rosa (Eolo-Kometa), Ignatas Konovalovas (Groupama-FDJ), Filippo Zana (Bardiani-CSF-Faizanè), Ben Zwiehoff (Bora-Hansgrohe), Diego Camargo (EF Education-EasyPost), Ivàn Sosa (Movistar), Alessandro Covi (UAE Team Emirates) up front now.

97km to go

20 seconds between the breakaway and the peloton.

Nans Peters (AG2R Citroën), James Knox (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl), Sylvain Moniquet (Lotto Soudal) attacking the peloton as they try to get in the eight-man move out front.

Will things settle down a bit now as the trio fight across to try and make it 11 in the break?

95km to go

Peters, Knox, and Moniquet get across. 30 seconds to the peloton.

Finally we have a breakaway.

And now another man makes it across. It's Alpecin-Fenix rider Oscar Riesebeek.

92km to go

40 seconds back to the peloton.

Three Italians in the breakaway today.

Diego Rosa hails from Corneliano d'Alba, just 35km south-east from the start of this stage.

Alessandro Covi is from Borgomanero in north-east Piedmont, so not too far away from these roads either. 

Filippo Zana, meanwhile, is from Thiene, over the other side of northern Italy in Veneto.

90km to go

Ineos Grenadiers control the peloton at the moment. 45.3kph average speed so far.

50 seconds up to the breakaway.

And the gap is only going up now. 1:30 at the moment as the breakaway approach the next hill of the day, another unclassified climb among the 3,000 metres of altitude gain during this stage.

87km to go

The peloton slows right down now as no team has control of the situation. The gap to the break continues to grow over two minutes.

Nobody from Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli, Israel-Premier Tech, Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert, or BikeExchange-Jayco in the breakaway today. 

They all had riders out on the move earlier on, so you can imagine they're not too pleased to miss out.

2:55 for the breakaway riders now.

Here's a shot of Dombrowski making the move which launched this breakaway.

The break is closing in on the top of this unclassified climb.

Bora-Hansgrohe are riding at the front of the peloton now, despite having a man in the break.

84km to go

All in the break working well together.

The gap has come down to 2:10 since Bora-Hansgrohe started working.

Out front we have several Giro d'Italia stage winners in the break.

Nans Peters won the summit finish at Antholz in 2019. Joe Dombrowski won last year on stage 4 in Sestola. Ignatas Konovalovas won the closing time trial in Rome back in 2009.

Oscar Riesebeek was a runner-up on stage 15 in Gorizia last year, while Diego Rosa won Milano-Torino – which finished atop the Superga climb the riders will tackle today – in 2015.

80km to go

1:45 for the breakaway now.

The gap is only coming down...

In addition to that list of Giro d'Italia stage wins a few posts ago, Joe Dombrowski also won the Giro d'Italia U23 back in 2012.

He's also keeping a diary for us during this race. Here's his latest entry, from earlier in the week.

Meanwhile, Bora-Hansgrohe have blown up the peloton! The riders have sped down the descent and are tackling another smaller unclassified climb...

78km to go

1:05 to the breakaway now...

Bora-Hansgrohe have a full train on the front here.

Maglia rosa López doesn't seem to be in the Bora-Hansgrohe group anymore! It doesn't look like João Almeida is there either...

It's a very small group...

Pictures aren't great so hard to tell exactly who's in the main group behind the break now.

74km to go

The break passes through the finish line in Turin for the first time. 37 seconds back to the peloton.

Two laps of the brutal circuit which includes the Superga and Colle della Maddalena left to go!

Bora-Hansgrohe leads a group of around seven riders across the line!  What

There are groups all over the place.

Valverde leads a larger group across the line maybe a minute down.

This is where pro cycling really falls apart. We know who's in the break and we know where a few of the favourites are. There's very little information available aside from what we can pick out on screen, though.

Zwiehoff drops away from the break.

70km to go

10 seconds between the break and whoever is in the Bora-Hansgrohe group. Carapaz and Simon Yates are in there as far as I can tell...

Now the lead group catches the breakaway as they start the Superga.

Lennard Kämna drives it on the front. Wilco Kelderman behind. They're working for Jai Hindley and Emanuel Buchmann, who lie in fourth and ninth overall.

Here's the profile of the Superga climb.

Valverde in a chase group. No idea of the time gap, frankly...

Rosa is out the back of the lead group now. He had looked set to grab a clutch of mountain points today but will have to make do with the nine he got earlier on.

It looks like the lead group has maybe 20 riders in it now. Bora-Hansgrohe still lead it up the Superga.

67km to go

Almeida and Guillaume Martin are struggling out the back of the lead group.

López is in the group along with Carapaz, Landa, Hindley, Pozzovivo, Buchmann, Bilbao, Yates.

Almeida and Martin are 15 seconds back.

Valverde is 1:20 down.

Valverde is only losing time here.

65km to go

A rough idea of who is in this front group now...

Hindley, Kelderman, Buchmann, Kämna, Carapaz, Sivakov, Nibali, Dombrowski, Landa, Bilbao, Konovalovas, Hirt, Pozzovivo, Moniquet, Yates, Ciccone, López

Dombrowski drops and falls back to Almeida.

Almeida passes Konovalovas, who has also been dropped from the front.

Bora-Hansgrohe still lead the way on the climb.

Carapaz, Landa, Nibali, Pozzovivo just behind.

Almeida has made it back in!

65km to go

Valverde is two minutes down now. We keep seeing him on TV but it's over for him.

Latest update on the composition of the front group...

Carapaz, Nibali, Bilbao, Landa, Kelderman, Buchmann, Hindley, Hirt, Pozzovivo, Yates, López, Almeida

30 seconds back to the next chase group on the road – Martin, Dombrowski, Konovalovas.

Bora-Hansgrohe lead the race over the Superga. A descent and some rolling roads before they tackle the Colle della Maddalena.

No battle for the points over the top.

Some 12km until the riders hit the bottom of the Maddalena.

It's calmed down a little now after that big move from Bora-Hansgrohe.

Martin (fifth at 28 seconds) and Valverde (10th at 1:23) the big losers so far. The rest of the GC top 10 all up front for now.

18 points for Kelderman over the top of Superga, by the way. Eight for Hindley, six for Buchmann.

López throws his musette to the floor and two bidons fall out. Not sure what he was doing there as he threw them directly on the floor in front of the riders behind him.

Martin is 55 seconds down on the front group now. Valverde is 2:40 down.

56km to go

Still a few kilometres to go until they climb the Maddalena.

Ah, the TV moto just sped past Hugh Carthy. I had forgotten about him today.

He was with the Konovalovas-Dombrowski group behind Martin at over a minute down but he's dropped behind them now.

A short downhill to the base of the Maddalena

The lead group hit the Colle della Maddalena. It's very hard to start.

Bora-Hansgrohe continue to lead the way.

Yates and the two Intermarché men on the rear of the group on these steep sections.

51km to go

Huge crowds on the climb as Hirt looks to be struggling.

1:20 back to the Martin group. Dombrowski and Konovalovas are back with him.

Valverde is 3:25 down.

Hirt just about hanging on up front.

It's very steep and tough but everybody seems to be hanging in with the groups they're in, even Konovalovas, who is still there with the climbers Martin and Dombrowski.

A shot of some of the riders in this lead group, including the race leader López.

46km to go

Still all together up front. Kelderman, Hindley, Buchmann get the 18, 8, 6 points on the Maddalena.

The riders head down the descent before another uncategorised climb, a run through the finish, and then the second ascent of Superga.

The Martin group has really lost some time on the Maddalena, falling to two minutes back.

And maybe I was wrong about where Carthy was on the road before unless he's had a nightmare on the climb. He's with Valverde now, 3:30 down on the leaders.

Lucas Hamilton is also with Carthy and Valverde.

Thymen Arensman (Team DSM) gets a bike change. I would guess he was in and around the Martin group? Haven't seen him at all, really.

Martin had Dombrowski and Konovalovas with him. Zana, Fortunato and Buitrago are also there in that group now.

Bora-Hansgrohe continue to pull with their three men on the front, meanwhile.

38km to go

2:50 back to the Martin group, who are falling back towards Valverde's group (at four minutes now).

The lead group heads down the descent towards the finish for the second of three runs today.

Bora-Hansgrohe lead the group through the finish line, a lap on from their move which blew apart the race.

Not long until they hit the Superga once again.

34km to go

The second group on the road, three minutes down, crosses the finish line. Martin leads the way.

Now Valverde, Carthy, and Hamilton cross the line.

Here we go! The leaders start the climb up Superga.

Kelderman finally finishes his work at the front and drops off.

Carapaz seems to have attacked. Great TV direction here...

Yates and Almeida out the back.

Would be great to be able to see what's going on here, Rai!

Hindley, Carapaz, Nibali, López up front.

Carapaz puts in an acceleration.

31km to go

Landa struggling. Pozzovivo out the back.

López is struggling!

Nibali leads it ahead of Carapaz and Hindley.

López gets back.

Landa is alone trying to battle back to the lead quartet.

30km to go

Landa back up front.

Yates, Almeida, Pozzovivo, Buchmann, Bilbao in the next group.

Now the chasers make it back!

Now Buchmann accelerates.

Martin and Valverde groups seem to have merged at over five minutes down now, by the way.

With no Hirt or Kelderman left up front, we have these riders remaining...

Carapaz, Nibali, Bilbao, Landa, Buchmann, Hindley, Pozzovivo, Yates, López, Almeida

29km to go

Almeida moves to the front to control the pace.

López, Yates, Pozzovivo towards the rear of the group. 

Yates famously doesn't enjoy the heat and it's over 30°C in Turin today.

We've just passed three hours of racing and it has been almost non-stop from the very start.

Yates and López in trouble at the back here.

Yates gets back on and López is just about keeping in touch.

Carapaz attacks!

No immediate response.

López is gone out the back.

Carapaz has a gap here. Maybe 15 seconds already.

28km to go

Bilbao goes to the front of the group. Carapaz sucks down a gel.

López will be out of the pink tonight if this is anything to go by.

Carapaz has 20 seconds on the group. López is 15 seconds further back.

27km to go

Carapaz passes the top of the climb.

He's 20 seconds up on the chase group. López another 20 seconds down.

Carapaz pushing it down the descent. López now 50 seconds down and shedding time.

It's the second time the riders have seen this descent, so they have a good idea of the lines and corners on the way down.

24km to go

López still alone a minute down. The next riders on the road are minutes back so he won't be getting any help in this chase.

Almeida not confident on the descent. He keeps dropping a few bike lengths around the corners.

25 seconds from Carapaz to the chase.

A reminder we still have that brutal Maddalena ascent left to run!

21km to go

Around 28 minutes after the leaders passed the finish line, the gruppetto has gone through.

20km to go

It's over for López. He's 1:25 down on Carapaz.

It's 26 seconds back to the chase group from Carapaz now.

Hindley riding on the front along with Bilbao in the chase.

18km to go

30 seconds between Carapaz and the chase. 1:40 from the Ecuadorian to López.

Carapaz in virtual pink by 28 seconds from Almeida now as Hindley rounds out the virtual podium at 36 seconds.

A look at that attack from Carapaz.

Carapaz still around 25 seconds up as he starts the Maddalena.

López now at 1:50.

Nibali goes to the front in the chase group.

Nibali has Hindley following.

15km to go

Nibali and Hindley at 16 seconds now.

Nobody else responded to Nibali's move.

Yates is trying to get across. Landa is struggling in the group.

Just 10 seconds up to Carapaz!

14km to go

Hindley makes a move. Nibali sticks with him. Yates a few seconds back.

Almeida, Landa, and the rest at 35 seconds behind Carapaz.

Nibali can't stick with Hindley.

López 2:30 down, by the way.

Once again, a moto stops on the Maddalena and Hindley almost rides into the back of it. Dangerous...

The wild crowds cheer on Nibali in the chase as Hindley gets across to Carapaz.

13 seconds between them and Nibali.

Nibali has the lead duo in his sights.

13.5km to go

Nibali makes it across!

Yates the next man on the road, not far behind.

Now Yates is across too!

13km to go

Four up front now. They'll battle for the win today.

Almeida, Landa, Bilbao, Buchmann, Pozzovivo are at 26 seconds.

12km to go

Hindley on the front as the quartet reach the top of the climb

Just a descent to go before a short unclassified climb and then the drop to the finish once more.

Ah, the chase group is just Almeida and Pozzovivo. 

Landa, Bilbao, Buchmann aren't there.

11km to go

Pozzovivo and Almeida are 12 seconds down.

Carapaz leads the lead quartet downhill. Nibali is third in line.

All getting down it safe so far. Second time down, of course.

They've done the lower part of this descent twice before, though.

10km to go

Into the final 10km and 13 seconds back to Pozzovivo and Almeida. The Portuguese rider again struggling a little on the way down.

López at three minutes. No time check back to the likes of Martin and Valverde, who are long gone.

Still Carapaz leads the front group.

8km to go

Pozzovivo leading Almeida down.

Yates lets a few bike lengths go in the front group but he's staying in touch just fine.

7km to go

No change in the race status just yet.

13 seconds back to the two-man chase. They're nearing the bottom of the descent.

Almeida a few seconds behind Pozzovivo now. He doesn't like these descents...

Now the leading quartet hit that last unclassified climb.

It's a small climb they've taken on twice before today. 

Pozzovivo has clear air between him and Almeida.

5km to go

Intermediate sprint at the top of the climb, with 3-2-1 bonus seconds up for grabs.

Nibali jumps.

Nibali leading the way at the front now. Hindley, Carapaz, Yates behind.

Now Hindley at the front.

Here's the sprint...

Yates attacks and takes three seconds. Carapaz second for two seconds. Hindley takes third for one second.

Pozzovivo is only a few seconds down!

Almeida around 18 seconds back.

4km to go

Carapaz, Hindley, and Nibali have let Yates go.

It's not downhill just yet.

4km to go

Now Yates gets over the top and heads downhill.

Carapaz goes to the front in the chase. Surprisingly not Nibali...

3.5km to go

Yates has 18 seconds. Pozzovivo is around 10 seconds further back.

It looks like the stage win is gone with Yates here.

Now Nibali takes to the front. Has he lost a stage win at his final Giro here? Odd that he didn't go straight away...

2km to go

Over 20 seconds for Yates now.

Or 14 seconds as the ticker corrects itself..

1.5km to go

Yates is closing in on the finish line and his second stage win of the Giro.

18 seconds to the chase, another 12 to Pozzovivo.

1km to go

Yates is soloing to a stage win!

Now for the battle for second.

Yates celebrates as he comes to the line after three-and-three-quarter-hours of brutal, non-stop racing.

Simon Yates (BikeExchange-Jayco) wins stage 14 of the Giro d'Italia!

A sprint for second.

Hindley beats Carapaz to it. Nibali trails in just behind.

They finish around 16 seconds down.

Pozzovivo is fifth at around 27 seconds down. Almeida next at around 39 seconds.

Here's the stage result.

López continues to battle as he reaches the final kilometre.

Yates celebrates his stage victory.

Here's our report on what was undoubtedly the most entertaining stage of the Giro d'Italia so far...

Giro d'Italia: Simon Yates captures solo win on stage 14 in Torino

Here's what Yates had to say after the finish...

"I tried a few times in the beginning but it wasn't possible. I made a couple of moves but maybe the group was too big or I wasn't allowed to go, I don't know. 

"So we had to change tactic and to go after the stage normally. It was lucky that Bora tried to chase for the stage or for the GC. From there onwards I did my best.

"Not really. I mean not to put a downer on the day but I came here to win the race. For me it's another stage. I have five already and it's number six.

"I hope the legs stay as good as today. Today was a really big effort, not just for me but for everybody. The gaps are enormous, so if this heat sticks around it's going to be a very hard final week."

The time gaps are huge, as Yates said. The top nine were within 1:10 of the winner. Seven further riders were within 10 minutes of the winner...

López has dropped eight places to ninth in the GC after that stage. Martin has dropped seven places to 12th.

It was a long time ago now, but Tom Dumoulin abandoned the race today. Here's the full story.

Tom Dumoulin abandons Giro d'Italia during frantic stage 14

A look at López during his final battle to the line in the maglia rosa.

The top 10 were separated by 1:23 this morning. Now the gap from Carapaz in first to Valverde in 10th is 9:06...

Today's time cut is reportedly around 49 minutes. 

Antonio Pedrero has finished in 58th place at 26:50.

Magnus Cort, who was battling to get in the break four hours ago, has just finished in 121st place at 33:29.

The new maglia rosa, Richard Carapaz!

Almeida is the white jersey holder after today's stage.

The time cut was earlier reported to be around 40 minutes but the calculation was actually 49:13 today. Everybody finished well within that time, with Roger Kluge (Lotto Soudal) last in at 40:31.

Our rider of the day today is Wilco Kelderman of Bora-Hansgrohe. Realistically it could've been any of the team, given the huge amount of work they did to blow the stage apart, but the Dutchman's stint on the front over the Superga and Colle della Maddalena for 35km was key in shaping the stage.
