Johan Bruyneel, George Hincapie, and Spencer Martin break down Sunday's stage of the Giro d'Italia, which saw Wout van Aert take an emotional victory over UAE's Isaac del Toro, who rode into the race lead after getting away with an elite group after a mid-stage crash on the white gravel roads of Tuscany.
