The fairly flat Stage 10 of the 2015 Giro d'Italia was expected to be a typical transition day for those riders contesting the overall classification with a breakaway group and the sprinters hoping to be the main focus of attention. Punctures and the occasional crash often occur during these days but the riders often recover from these setbacks to re-join the peleton. However, Team Sky may regret their actions during the closing kilometres of the road into Forli as Richie Porte's hopes of clinching the Giro victory appeared to evaporate at the roadside.
