Cioni prepared for new plan
Sport Director Dario Cioni was pleased Team Sky came through stage 13 unscathed as he explained their revised plans for the race.
Fernando Gaviria (Quick-Step Floors) sealed his fourth stage win in a hard-fought sprint, but the return to the mountains on stage 14 could suit the riders at Team Sky's disposal.
While Geraint Thomas’ departure has ended the team’s general classification hopes, Cioni reckons there could be opportunities for other riders to seal a stage win.

Losing G is a really big loss so we are having to reset our goals in this race
“Losing G is a really big loss so we are having to reset our goals in this race,” he told TeamSky.com.
“We still have some really good riders in the race, starting with Mikel Landa and some other guys who are really riding well.
“Today obviously wasn’t our stage without a sprinter here
“The main goal of the today was to get from A to B and get ready for the next days.”
