Santiago Buitrago wins Stage 17 at Giro d’Italia; Mathieu Van der Poel shines, Richard Carapaz keeps pink
Tears of sadness on Sunday turned to tears of joy on Wednesday as Santiago Buitrago picked up a maiden Grand Tour stage win with a fantastic solo effort in Lavarone. After missing out against Guilio Ciccone in Cogne, the 22-year-old Colombian bounced back three days later on an explosive Stage 17 in the Italian Alps as Bahrain-Victorious teammate Mikel Landa moved into the podium positions at the expense of Portugal’s Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates).
