The GC action resumed on Stage 7 at the Giro d’Italia, which saw Koen Bouwman (Jumbo-Visma) claim a maiden Grand Tour stage win. Spain’s Juan Pedro Lopez (Trek-Segafredo) retained the race leader’s pink jersey.

The Giro d’Italia journeys from Diamante to Potenza via four categorised climbs, with nearly 4500m of elevation awaiting the peloton. It’s no wonder that Eurosport expert Adam Blythe has dubbed Friday’s stage as “one of the hardest” of this year’s race.
