The Shark is back. Vincenzo Nibali wins the 2017 Giro's queen stage

Weather in the finish town of Bormio at 1:40 PM, local time: 21C (70F), fair, with the wind from the NNW at 11 km/hr (7 mph). There is a 10% chance of precipitation.

The race: With its three giant climbs and no small amount of very challenging descending, this is the 2017 Giro d'Italia's Queen Stage.

174 riders started this long stage at 10:40 AM. The first hour was ridden at 50.3 km/hr. With the Mortirolo ascent climbed, things slowed during the second hour with the average speed dropping to 40 km/hr.

Partway into the stage, both Kenny Elissonde (Sky) and Ben Hermans (BMC) abandoned. Elissonde crashed in stage 15 and Hermans is sick.

Here's the report from second-place Mikel Landa's Team Sky:

Mikel Landa produced a rousing performance to claim the mountain’s jersey and second place on the queen stage of the Giro d’Italia. The Basque star was part of an early group of escapees on stage 16 and held his own over two ascents of the Passo dello Stelvio, pushing clear of his rivals on the final climb.

With the general classification battle firing behind, Vincenzo Nibali bridged across to the Sky rider on the descent off the Umbrailpass, and narrowly edged out Landa in the two-up sprint in Bormio.

Landa racked up big points on the day to snare the Maglia Azzurra, third over the initial Passo del Mortirolo, before winning the prestigious Cima Coppi prize for leading over the Stelvio, the race’s highest point, at 2758 metres.

Landa held a slender 12-second gap over the top of the final mountain as Nibali (Bahrain Merida) and Nairo Quintana (Movistar) accelerated behind. Nibali took big risks on the descent in a bid to bridge across, with the pair running into the finish together to sprint for the win.

“Sadly I lost the stage in the final metres. But this is cycling. You can lose or you can learn something,” said Landa after the race. “I was feeling good more or less from the beginning of the stage. It was a really fast stage with the breakaway going on the first climb.

Team Sky put in a strong team performance across the 222km test, putting a number of riders up the road to enliven the race.

Vasil Kiryienka was the first to go clear, and was eventually joined by Landa, Philip Deignan and Sebastian Henao on the Mortirolo. After some big stints on the front from Kiryienka and Deignan, Landa was left to push onwards, showing equally impressive descending skills.

With 25km to go he made his big move, pushing clear of Steven Kruijswijk (LottoNL-Jumbo) and Jan Hirt (CCC Sprandi) to go solo.

There was a huge amount of drama in the battle for the race lead, with Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) seeing his overall advantage slashed to just 31 seconds after the Dutchman lost time, stopping momentarily with stomach issues. Nairo Quintana (Movistar) closed on the maglia rosa with third place on the day, 12 seconds behind Nibali and Landa.

Team Sky were sadly reduced down to seven riders during the stage as Kenny Elissonde was forced to abandon as the race hit the Mortirolo. The Frenchman started the day but struggled with injuries sustained in a crash on Sunday.

And here's what GC leader Tom Dumoulin's Team Sunweb had to say about the day's racing:

Team Sunweb were represented in both of the days breakaways with Chad Haga (USA) and Phil Bauhaus (GER) making the first, and Laurens ten Dam (NED) present in the second eventually dropping back to support Dumoulin. With 30 kilometres to the finish a call to nature caused Tom to pause for a moment, resulting in a significant loss to his overall lead. Despite the difficulties, Tom chased relentlessly to limit his losses and now leads the Giro d'Italia by 31 seconds.

After the stage Dumoulin said: "At that moment I needed to stop to answer natures call. When I was chasing back I decided to fight and not give up and then see where we were at after the finish. It was tough out there on my own and of course it's dissapointing. The legs were good and I feel like I could have been up there with the other GC group but that's not how it worked out, it's too bad."

Team Sunweb coach Aike Visbeek (NED) added: "Looking at everything apart from Tom's stop, everything was great. The team were strong, the tactical plan worked and everything was good. Tom was also strong on the climb, fast on the descent and going just as well as the other guys in front. We lost some of the lead but Tom is still in pink, which is the most important thing. Looking ahead we still have a time trial in Milan and over the coming days we have more good opportunities for Tom."

35 kilometers to go, 1.5 km before Santa Maria Val Mustair, the start of the Umbrail Pass

Soon after Santa Maria Val Mustair (1,372 m above sea level, this is around 1-2 km later) on the way up to the Umbrail Pass. These are the three first riders at this point: Steven Kruiswijk, Mikel Landa and Jan Hirt.

Same place as the photo above. Nibali and Quintana and the Big Shots are coming (except Tom Dumoulin, who had stopped a few km before, doing his own business).

A Bora-hansgrohe rider chases. The Costa Rican fans in the background were there to see Andrey Amador.

On the Umbrail Pass. The big dogs have gone by and now it the job of the domestiques to get to the finish.

José Herrada looks up the forbidding hill.

The main bus of non-climbers has already gone by. These gents are just hoping to get in under the time cut-off.

The leading riders passed by just a few minutes before. But Kaare Sveen notes that these chasers look like they are in another race.

Omar Fraile wearing the blue jersey because KOM leader Tom Dumoulin is in pink.

Tom Dumoulin chases hard after a badly timed call of nature.

Mikel Landa and Vincenzo Nibali sprint for the line.

And Nibali gets it

This shot shows how close it was.

Tom Dumoulon remains the GC leader.

Organizer's stage 16 preview: Alpine queen stage with approx. 5,400 m cumulative elevation gain. The course runs first on a mild climb heading to Edolo and then climbs up the Mortirolo from Monno (only one precedent in 1990). The parcours takes a pass over the finish line in Bormio, climbs up the Passo dello Stelvio (Cima Coppi) and reaches Prato allo Stelvio and Glorenza, crosses the borders to Switzerland and clears the Umbrail Pass leading back to Italy, just 3 km from the Stelvio summit, and running down to Bormio.
