The Giro d’Italia remembered Wouter Weylandt as the race returned to the Passo del Bocco – 11 years after he tragically died on the descent. Flowers were placed at a memorial besides where he had the fatal accident.
It’s the longest stage of the Giro d’Italia! Stage 12 sees the peloton travel 204km from Parma to Genova, with this day earmarked with one word: breakaway. Ad/> Expect a string of moves before the Passo Del Bocco summit, the day's long first climb, with plenty of KOM points up for grabs. An undulating finale featuring two Cat.
Giro d’Italia organisers removed the corks from Prosecco bottles prior to the podium celebrations on Wednesday after Biniam Girmay took one to the face after his historic win a day earlier. Girmay (Intermarche-Wanty-Gobert Materiaux) was taken to hospital after being struck in his left eye – just minutes after becoming the first Black African to win a stage at a Grand Tour. Ad/> The 21-year-old withdrew from the race on Wednesday morning, saying he needed “some rest to give more power to the eye”.
After Biniam Girmay's historic victory on Tuesday, another chance for the fast men arrives on Stage 11. Only this time, Mark Cavendish (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) and Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal) will expect to feature. The flat-track bullies were cruelly distanced by their more versatile, but slower, rivals during the early hills on Stage 10, but there should be no repeat on the pan-flat run from Santarcangelo di Romagna to Reggio Emilia.
Biniam Girmay is the newest star of cycling after his historic win at the Giro d’Italia, with Robbie McEwen saying he is “in awe” of the Eritrean on The Breakaway. Girmay (Intermarche-Wanty-Gobert Materiaux) hinted at his potential with a fine win at Gent-Wevelgem in March and a string of top-five finishes at the Giro, before producing the biggest performance of his career on Tuesday. Ad/> The 21-year-old was forced to fight through the pack in the closing kilometres on Stage 10 after briefly going the wrong way on a descent – but his superb Intermarche team delivered him back to the front.
Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) was forced to stop after getting a piece of material trapped in his jockey wheel on Stage 10 at the Giro d’Italia – before his chain fell off immediately as he tried to pull away on his replacement bike. The Dutchman pulled to the side of the road with 55km remaining on the run to Jesi on Tuesday, before he battled with a strip of black material looped around his chain. Ad/> Fortunately, he was only stranded for about 30 seconds before a team car pulled alongside with a replacement bike.
Mark Cavendish (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) and Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal) were again distanced as the Giro d’Italia went uphill – with their more versatile, but slower, sprint rivals keen to remove them from the equation on Stage 10. Alpecin-Fenix and Intermarche-Wanty-Gobert Materiaux, riding for pre-stage favourites Mathieu van der Poel and Biniam Girmay respectively, wanted to ensure Cavendish and Ewan were distanced before the finish.
Hindley upsets heavyweights on Blockhaus — the story of Stage 9 Ad/> A glorious summit showdown on the infamous Blockhaus saw Australia’s Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) edge Frenchman Romain Bardet (Team DSM) and Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) on a day of high drama on the Giro d’Italia. Giro d'ItaliaGiro d'Italia 2022 Stage 10 — Route map, how to watch as Van der Poel goes for gloryAN HOUR AGO Hindley, who famously lost the maglia rosa to Britain's Tao Geoghegan Hart on the final day of the 2020 Giro d'Italia, confirmed his return to form after taking the win in a six-way sprint by going long in the uphill finish and leading out around the final bend from the front.
