The stage itself – the eighth of the race, a 14-lap, 86.8km route through the capital’s streets – was won by Team Sky’s Elia Viviani after a review. André Greipel initially appeared to have taken victory in a sprint finish but was later ruled to have deviated from his line in an act of dangerous riding. Viviani was promoted to first.
