Nairo Quintana Giro d'Italia 2017 Stage 10 bunnyhop.JPGQuintana (Kanga) Roo - Nairo's time trial bunnyhop stars in our Giro video round-up
Movistar's Nairo Quintana may have lost the leadership of the Giro d'Italia after today's individual time trial - but he is bound to have won over some new admirers thanks to this stunning bunnyhop over a kerb at today's Stage 10 individual time trial.

It's even more impressive when seen from this angle in a video on the Gazzetta dello Sport's website.
The Colombian's save meant he avoided a spectacular crash - but Gazprom-RusVelo rider Pavel Brutt wasn't quite so lucky.
Nor was Team Sky's former world time trial champion Vasil Kiryienka, who crashed on the final bend ... he still set what at the time was the fastest time, but finished fifth on the stage, 2 minutes off the pace.
OOF!@TeamSky are having some rotten luck at the #Giro100 as Vasili Kiryienka goes down pic.twitter.com/dfRoTrv5gk

Meanwhile, Sunweb's Tom Dumoulin, the new race leader, almost took out two podium hostesses after being presented with the maglia rosa following today's stage ... although not in a George Hincapie, "Reader, I married her" kind of way.
OOPS!

Photo of the day, we reckon, goes to top Belgian snapper Tim De Waele, who set up this pic of Jasper Stuyven, who was clearly not on one of those days where he was going to leave it all on the road.
No stress for me on the TT day so had time for some fun with @KimTiebergyn and @tdwsport. #JaspergoesItaly #Giro100 pic.twitter.com/cfOeRQTX9o

Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
