Adverse weather forces Giro d'Italia to cut stage 13 to 74.6km

The Giro d'Italia peloton races past the snow on stage 7 to Gran Sasso d'Italia

Stage 13 of the Giro d'Italia has been cut to 74.6km in length after the Grand St Bernard Pass was cut from the route altogether due to poor weather conditions on the Giro d'Italia route.

The 135 remaining riders in the race were all present under heavy rain at the start in Borgofranco d'Ivrea but will now take the original neutralised start before re-boarding their team buses and travel to the valley at the base of the day's second climb, the first-category Croix de Coeur.
