The stage course is perfectly flat and runs almost entirely along the ss. 16 Adriatica, on wide and straight roads, for 130 km. The route then runs almost straight along the ss. 9 Via Emilia for a further 60 km, leading through Santarcangelo di Romagna, Cesena and Forlì, into the Imola Racetrack and into the final “Tre Monti” circuit. Final kilometres: the final circuit (15.3 km) is raced partly within the Imola Racetrack, and partly outside it. From the finish line (on the pit straight), the route covers around 3.5 km of the track, up to the Variante Alta. Here, the stage course leaves the racetrack (bottleneck), takes the climb leading to Tre Monti (awarding KOM points) and then descends onto quite wide and well-paved roads up to the red flag, which leads to the entry point of the Rivazza corner, approx. 850 m before the finish. The last bend is 650 m from the finish line, followed by a long home straight, just bending slightly, on 8-m wide and perfectly level asphalt road.
Winner: Sam Bennett

After another crazy finish I even forgot that I picked him, I was rooting for Mohoric :DD.
Impressive Bennett anyway, even attacking on the climb, really, a crazy Giro :)
EDIT : saw your comment on the main thread, lol at the Verstappen thing ... and at Bennett's gf too :p

Yeah, crazy is right!
And those two could have stayed out in front if Betancur had kept going.
