CERVIA, Italy – Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) triumphed for the second time in three days to win stage nine of the Giro d’Italia on May 17, with the Dane going solo at the end of the climb to the finish, while Afonso Eulalio remains in the overall lead.
Vingegaard tracked race rival Felix Gall (Decathlon CMA CGM) when the Austrian attacked near the end of the 184 km from Cervia to Corno alle Scale, but the Dane powered away in the closing kilometre, with his Visma teammate Davide Piganzoli coming in third.
Eulalio (Bahrain Victorious) put in another brave ride to limit the damage and crossed the line fifth, 41 seconds behind Vingegaard and maintained his grip on the pink jersey.
After a rest day on May 18, the riders will tackle a 42km individual time trial from Viareggio to Massa on May 19’s stage 10. REUTERS
