Natnael Tesfatsion suffered a terrifying crash at the Giro d’Italia after he flew off the road and into the bushes during a high-speed descent on Stage 9. The Eritrean (Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli) was leading from the breakaway when he got it all wrong going down the Passo Lanciano. Rather than swooping round the left-hand turn from the outside, Tesfatsion was forced to take evasive action after hugging the inside of the road.
Ten years after his historic win on the Stelvio, Thomas De Gendt soared to a second Giro d’Italia stage win with an emphatic victory on the streets of Naples thanks to a little help from his Belgian compatriot and teammate Harm Vanhoucke. The Lotto Soudal duo were part of a four-man move that extricated itself from a stellar breakaway that featured the likes of Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) and Biniam Girmay (Intermarche-Wanty-Gobert) on the streets of Naples in an absorbing 153km circuit race that had the feel of a mini world championships.
A day somewhat devoid of drama sprung into life on the streets of Scalea with a bunch sprint deluxe that saw Arnaud Demare (Groupama-FDJ) deny Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal) by the slenderest of margins – and left Mark Cavendish (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) slapping his handlebars in frustration. Australia’s Ewan looked to have won his shoulder-to-shoulder battle with Britain’s Cavendish on the home straight before Demare emerged from their slipstream with an emphatic burst, a clinical deviation and a superior bike lunge that made him France’s all-time leading stage winner in La Corsa Rosa.
An enthralling fifth stage in Sicily saw favourites Mark Cavendish (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) and Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal) distanced on an early climb before France’s Arnaud Demare (Groupama-FDJ) powered to victory in Messina. Demare, who fought back into contention after being dropped on the same ascent, held off Fernando Gaviria (UAE Team Emirates) in a tight finish after the Colombian appeared to be hampered by a gearing issue on the home straight. Ad/> Italy’s Giacomo Nizzolo (Israel-Premier Tech) took third place ahead of compatriot Davide Ballerini, the only Quick-Step rider who had not dropped back to try and nurse Cavendish, the Stage 3 winner, back into the fold.
