Giro, Stage 6: One on One

The final sprint was first launched by Silvan Dillier (BMC) and was quickly covered by Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo).  Try as he might, Lukas Postlberger (Bora-Hansgrohe) just didn't have anything left in the legs to go with the last of his break away companions.  Dillier was able to hold of Stuyven as they sprinted stroke for stroke for the last hundred meters.  As they crossed the line each used their arms to show their emotions, one slamming the bars, the other throwing his arms wide.  All of it was watched by the race commissare standing up through his car's sunroof.

Giro, Stage 6: Ultimo Chilometro

As the remaining trio from the break approached the red kite informing them that there was only on kilometer left to race, they were starting to size each other up.  Silvan Dillier (BMC), Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo) and Lukas Postlberger (Bora-Hansgrohe) were trying to decide who had anything left, or who was going to jump first.  They had to be a little careful while they slowed to play some cat and mouse, Simone Andreetta (Bardiani-CSF) wasn't too far behind them, and the peloton was closing fast on the Italian.  It would be a heartbreak to come up empty handed because they were too worried about who would be on what step of the podium.
