Overview
- Jonas Vingegaard attacked with 5.5 km to go on Blockhaus and rode clear for his first Giro d’Italia stage win.
- Felix Gall paced his own effort on the steep upper slopes and crossed the line 13 seconds behind the winner.
- Giulio Pellizzari tried to follow the surge, cracked, and finished with Jai Hindley and Ben O’Connor at 1 minute 5 seconds as Hindley took third.
- Overall leader Afonso Eulálio kept the pink jersey, though his gap to Vingegaard now stands at 3 minutes 17 seconds.
- Bahrain controlled the early break and Visma raised the tempo before the climb, on a Blockhaus finish that often splits Giro contenders with several summit finishes still ahead.
