Narváez Outsprints Enric Mas to Win Giro Stage 11

Jhonatan Narváez's victory cements his hot streak as UAE Team Emirates reasserts its strength in breakaways and reshapes stage tactics in the race.

Overview

  • Jhonatan Narváez won the 195 km Stage 11 from Porcari to Chiavari, outsprinting Enric Mas to take his third stage victory in this Giro on Wednesday.
  • The result sprang from a long breakaway that formed early and was whittled down on the final climb, leaving Narváez and Mas alone to contest the finish.
  • Enric Mas played a leading role in the escape and attacked repeatedly but said a virus has hampered him and that he will now focus on chasing stage wins rather than the overall classification.
  • Afonso Eulálio kept the maglia rosa after the stage and Jonas Vingegaard remains second on the general classification, 27 seconds behind, so the overall battle stays active.
  • Narváez now has three stage wins in this edition and five Giro stage wins across three participations, a run that has helped revive UAE Team Emirates after early setbacks including Adam Yates's withdrawal.
