The Irishman began the day ranked second in the maglia azzurra standings on 164 points, 63 adrift of Frenchman Pinot. But with Friday’s queen stage featuring five classified climbs, there were still enough points up for grabs for the blue jersey to change hands.

Ad However, both Healy and Pinot missed out on the day’s 15-man breakaway, meaning all the early mountain points were likely to be hoovered up by those at the front of the race.
