The Italian Alberto Dainese (DSM) was just ahead of points jersey wearer Jonathan Milan (Bahrain).
Today, however, the sprinters in the peloton have another break from broadcasting when they head back into the mountains. The 18th section leads to the penultimate mountain finish of the tour with six climbs over the 161 kilometers with the finish in Val di Zoldo.
Geraint Thomas (Ineos) is currently driving in pink. The Welshman, already a 2018 Tour de France champion, is celebrating his 37th birthday today. “I don’t feel a lot of pressure from expectations. I just want to take the opportunity. A lot of people have already written me off,” says Thomas, who has had little luck with the Giro in his long career so far. In 2017 he crashed into a police motorcycle, in 2020 he fell over a colleague’s water bottle.
