No late twist as Jai Hindley wins Giro d’Italia ahead of Richard Carapaz, Matteo Sobrero takes Stage 21
Two years on from heartbreak on the final day, and 20 years to the day after Cadel Evans became the first Australian to don the maglia rosa, Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) became the first Australian to win the Giro d’Italia after a beautiful tale of redemption in Verona. Hindley limited his losses to closest rival Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) to just seven seconds in the decisive 17.4km time trial to secure the overall victory by 1:18 over the Ecuadorian 2019 champion and ensure that there was no repeat of his 2020 nightmare when Britain’s Tao Geoghegan Hart wrested the pink jersey from his shoulders at the eleventh hour.
