‘I wasn’t going to let that happen again’ - Jai Hindley fuelled by final-day anguish in Giro d’Italia win
Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) admitted he had the anguish of 2020 on his mind before becoming the first Australian to win the Giro d’Italia. The 26-year-old arrived into the final stage in an eerily familiar position, having seized the leader’s maglia rosa on the penultimate stage in the mountains ahead of the decisive time trial – the same scenario that he had experienced 18 months ago. Ad/> That time he had been powerless to stop Britain’s Tao Geoghegan Hart from stealing it straight off his shoulders, but on this occasion – shielded by a 1:25 buffer over Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) – he proved his close-shave with pink was no fluke.
