Geraint Thomas said he is relishing the opportunity to win the Giro d'Italia and feels no pressure after inheriting the leader's maglia rosa jersey following Remco Evenepoel's withdrawal.
Pre-race favourite Remco Evenepoel stormed to victory in a rain-affected Giro d'Italia stage nine on Sunday, a 35-km individual time trial, to retake the leader's maglia rosa jersey.
FOSSOMBRONE, Italy: Ben Healy of Education First pulled off a long-range breakaway to win stage eight of the Giro d’Italia on Saturday, as race favorite Remco Evenepoel came under pressure. The 22-year-old Irishman dropped his three breakaway companions on the day’s hardest climb, the Monte Delle Cesane, to take his first ever world tour victory in style. “I had great legs and nobody could follow me, so it was a great day,” said Healy, who has broken through this year coming second to Tadej Pogacar in April’s Amstel Gold Race.
Irishman Ben Healy's season got even better on Saturday when he won the eighth stage of the Giro d'Italia, a 207-km ride from Terni to Fossombrone, while pre-race favourite Remco Evenepoel lost time.
GRAN SASSO D'ITALIA, Italy: With snow piled high on the roadsides, Italian outsider Davide Bais won stage seven of the Giro d’Italia from a breakaway on the highest peak in the Apennines on Friday.
Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) was in bullish mood following Stage 6 of the Giro d’Italia, telling Eurosport France that he felt main general classification rival Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) looked “nervous”. After Stage 6 was won by Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo), the 23-year-old Soudal-Quickstep rider sits second on the general classification, some 28 seconds off Norway’s Andreas Leknessund (Team DSM). However, he holds a 44-second lead over Roglic.
Kaden Groves won a damp, chaotic stage five of the Giro d'Italia on a crash-strewn day during which overall favourite Remco Evenepoel was almost taken out of the race by a stray dog and Mark Cavendish slid across the finish line on his backside to take fourth place.
