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.

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

bunny hop... i guess Quintana isn't a one-trick pony... he can climb hills + bunny hop.
still not a fan. Go Tom!
I wasn't a fan either until I saw him iin action on Sunday. Made doubly impressive as my legs were still suffering from my snail-like climb of the same mountain!
I'd say in general, Italian roads are worse than ours. Where I am in Sussex there tend to be patchy sections, but they are never long and you can avoid the worst parts. And you never find whole sections being reclaimed by the land, where you either dismount and carry your bike or you take it very steadily.
He'd be bunny-hopping over pot-holes all day if he rode in the UK!
I think that is why Danny MacAskill started ...
Although they had resurfaced a lot of the route for the Giro, that's the kind of skill you need to ride on Italian roads!
He is a gentleman, a scholar, an acrobat.
