All Who Matter G18-28
This vastly reduced peloton was chasing the even more drastically reduced break away up the final kilometers of the Etna climb. At this point all of the big names (and GC contenders) were still together, including the Maglia Blanco of Maximilian Schachman (Quick Step), my hometown boy, Ben King (Dimension Data), the Maglia Rosa of Rohan Dennis (BMC) and Fabio Aru (UAE Team Emirates) in his Italian National Champion jersey. The big M is on the back of Richard Carapaz (Movistar). The others who are odds on favorites are leading this group, but not really readable in this painting.
