Chris Froome (Sky) has been having a less than stellar Giro thus far. Today he hit the final climb with something to prove. With just under 4 kilometers left to the summit of Monte Zoncolan, he went off the front of the shredded peloton. Behind, race marshals worked to clear space between each splinter group racing to make their mark on the GC. Trying to hold the wheel of Froome is the Maglia Rosa of Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott). Yates had over three minutes in hand on Froome, but others behind had more to worry about.
