Giulio Ciccone (Trek-Segafredo) soloed clear on Stage 15 to deliver more home joy at the Italian Grand Tour. Good things clearly come to those who wait. A day after losing the maglia rosa, Ciccone delivered Trek Segafredo a first win of their own at the Giro d’Italia since his own last, three years previously.
Un auténtico Tappone alpino, que dirían por estos lares, era lo que la les tenía reservada a los corredores. Una jornada que transcurrió por el Valle de Aosta, precioso paraíso natural de montañas, verdes praderas, ríos y cascadas, con final en la pequeña localidad de Cogne. Escenario e ingredientes perfectos para vivir una bonita batalla en la montaña que, no obstante, el conformismo instaurado entre los favoritos echó por la borda del mismo modo que en la etapa con final en Etna. En consecuencia, con un lejano ataque en el último puerto con el que sumó el tercer triunfo de su palmarés en el Giro para, de paso, reencontrarse con una victoria que le era esquiva desde febrero de 2020 en Laigueglia. Por su parte, Richard Carapaz encarará la tercera semana de carrera con la maglia rosa.
Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) and Simon Yates (BikeExchange-Jayco) were caught up in a big pile-up in the early running on Stage 15 at the Giro d’Italia. The new pink jersey and Saturday’s champ were flung onto a grassy verge after a touch of wheels in the peloton with 171km remaining on the run from Rivarolo Canavese to Cogne. Ad/> About a dozen riders hit the deck while the back of the peloton came to a standstill as limbs were untangled from carbon fibre.
Chute! Ad/> You may have caught whispers of an early crash involving our new maglia rosa, Richard Carapaz. Though not an entirely scurrilous rumour, it occurred at relatively low speed, with most caught up enjoying a soft horticultural landing and all getting back on their bikes. Giro d'ItaliaForget pink, Ineos will be 'asking questions' after being ripped apart15 HOURS AGO /> 131km to go: Five riders off the front And it’s several of the usual suspects, working reasonably well, with a lead of 10-15 seconds.
La fuga no triunfa
Simon Yates went solo in the finale to win the 14th stage of the Giro d'Italia as Richard Carapaz took over as overall race leader on Saturday.
Richard Carapaz may have seized the maglia rosa on Stage 14 at the Giro d’Italia but Ineos Grenadiers will be “asking questions of themselves” after he was isolated, according to Dan Lloyd on The Breakaway, while Bradley Wiggins suggested the Ecuadorian rode with an “element of fear”. Ineos are renowned for protecting their GC leader at Grand Tours with their fabled train making it near-impossible for any rivals to attack off the front. Ad/> So it was a surprise when an early move from Bora-hansgrohe shredded the peloton, including the majority of the Ineos team, with only Pavel Sivakov able to offer any semblance of support to Carapaz.
Stage 14 of this year’s Giro was always going to be one to watch. Plenty of pundits had the second Saturday circled in their calendar long before the race had started constructing its Hungarian grande partenza, let alone arrived in mainland Italy. Yet even as the short, punchy Piedmontese profile invited aggressive riding, and promised to reward risk-taking, few could have predicted the devastating effect it would have on the general classification.
