Overview

  • Jonas Vingegaard produced a solo victory on the summit finish at Pila after Team Visma controlled the race and he attacked 4.6 kilometres from the line.
  • The Stage 14 win moved Vingegaard into the pink jersey for the first time in his career and was his third stage victory on this Giro.
  • He finished about 49 seconds ahead of Felix Gall and 58 seconds ahead of Jai Hindley, creating a clear reshuffle of the overall standings.
  • The 133 km stage was short but brutal, featuring five climbs and roughly 4,350 metres of positive elevation, which concentrated the action and opened gaps among GC contenders.
  • The peloton now heads to a flat 157 km stage from Voghera to Milan that favors sprinters and gives GC teams a chance to regroup and plan defence for the remaining mountain days.
