Race Recap
Denz wins stage 12
Nico Denz (Bora-Hansgrohe) won stage 12 of the Giro d'Italia after spending an epic day in the breakaway. The German won a three-up sprint from the front ahead of Toms Skujins (Trek-Segafredo) and Sebastian Berwick (Israel-Premier Tech).
“I don’t know what to say. It’s really big for me, and obviously, I’m super proud," said Denz. “I wasn’t supposed to be in the breakaway. When I looked around, there were just monsters around – only big guys. I thought it was going to be difficult for me to do something, and I was thinking I could help Konrad to win the stage. But the collaboration was really, really bad, and I was still going at the front, and we suddenly had a gap and fully pushed on.
“On the last climb, I was on my very limit. I barely made it over the top. Once I achieved that, I knew there was a kicker, and I had to throw everything in to attack there. Obviously, everything came back together, but I also have quite a fast finish and that saved me in the end. I’m over the moon right now.”
