Race Recap
Hirt wins stage 16
After almost six hours in the saddle, Jan Hirt (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert) took a solo win out of the breakaway on stage 16 of the Giro d"Italia. The Czech rider rode away from a strong breakaway, and finally cracked Thymen Arensman (DSM) on the final climb to take home his first grand tour victory.
“I wanted to try to do something nice today. Every time I’m on the Mortitolo I want to anticipate, and I wanted to get into the breakaway today,” he said. "I had some difficult moments in the break, and in the end, on the last climb, my chain was jumping. I was really suffering, and I had all these problems, but I wanted to win so much and I kept fighting until the end.”
Jai Hindley (Bora - Hansgrohe) took third place on the day and moved within three seconds of Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) on the GC.
