17:32 CEST - 1 km to go

Garate attacks the group, but the others react. Hamilton has problems when he has to get out of the saddle, but is hanging in there.

Tonkov now has 1 km to go, with Il Falco, Paolo Savoldelli starting to really close in on him, although he won't be able to to get him in time.

Hamilton is dropped from the Hamilton group, which is now five riders (Garate, Caucchioli, Totschnig, Escartin and Munoz).

17:33 CEST - 222 km/0 km to go

Garate goes again in the closing kilometres, but the stage win is Tonkov's. Very strong ride from the former Giro winner. Savoldelli takes second at and will be the new wearer of the Maglia Rosa. Garate takes third, at 3'. Hamilton comes across in 9th spot at 4'00, and will have a tough battle to beat Savoldelli for the Giro win on Saturday. But he took more time out of him in the first 30.3 km TT, so anything's possible.

Evans was passed by Frigo at the end, having completely blown up. A brave performance by the young Australian, who we will surely see more of in future. And speaking of young talent, look out for Yaroslav Popovych, who also had a great ride today to finish 11th.
