Jai Hindley upsets heavyweights on Blockhaus, Simon Yates crumbles, Juan Pedro Lopez keeps pink at Giro d’Italia
Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) saw off the GC heavyweights in a bruising finish on the menacing Blockhaus on Stage 9 as the Giro d’Italia exploded into life. The Australian, who wore pink for the final stage of the 2020 edition before being immediately ousted by Tao Geoghegan Hart, edged Romain Bardet (Team DSM) and Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) in a thrilling three-way battle, with Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) also impressing before the final sprint to the line.
