Vingegaard Wins Blockhaus as Eulálio’s Giro Cushion Shrinks to 3:17

A well-timed move on the final climb signaled a shift in control on the Giro’s first major summit finish.

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.
