A brief diversion from the action. The cyclists union the AIGCP has released a statement on yesterday's stage. Here is some of what they said.
"When asked by the AIGCP, the UCI commissaires have specifically denied to have heard the instructions 'not to attack in the descent' broadcasted on Radio Tour… "In order to have fair cycling, teams need a regulator that applies the rules in a transparent, consistent and fair way. The complete absence of the ability to regulate the race to correct the mistakes, lead to a significant influence on the results in the race yesterday and until the end of the Giro. That should never happen. "The AIGCP is open to discuss with all stakeholders in order to raise the level of regulation during bike races."
