Good morning and a warm welcome to today's Cycling Weekly live blog, where I, Tom Thewlis, will be bringing you all of the essential news in the world of cycling.
I'll also be taking you through stage ten of the Giro d'Italia from Scandiano to Viareggio.
The first half of today's stage will see the riders take on a couple of climbs. Once the climbing is out of the way, it's a relatively flat and undulating run in to the finish.
Geraint Thomas will be wearing the leaders pink jersey today after Remco Evenepoel left the race on Sunday due to a positive Covid test.
You can check out the stage ten route in more detail in our Giro route analysis.
