Race Recap
Jonas Vingegaard (TVL) soloed to his third summit stage victory and with it into the leader's pink jersey on the biggest mountain stage of this Giro d'Italia so far to Pila. After his teammates had controlled the peloton all day, the Dane attacked with 4.6km remaining and immediately distanced his rivals. At the line he was 49 seconds clear of Felix Gall (DCT), with Jai Hindley (RBH) another 9 seconds back in third and young Davide Piganzoli (TVL) a brilliant fourth after working hard for Vingegaard.
Race leader Afonso Eulálio was dropped 8.5km from the finish. Although the young Portuguese lost close to three minutes, he did enough to retain second place overall, 2'26" behind Vingegaard and 24" ahead of Gall, who leapfrogged Thymen Arensman (IGD) into third place.
On the 5-climb stage, the road went up right from the start. Two dozen riders eventually came together in the break, the first key moment coming at the intermediate sprint where triple stage winner Jhonatan Narváez (UAD) was first across the line, which put him a point ahead of Paul Magnier (SOQ) in the points classification.
The break's lead stretched to 3'50" going onto the third climb, the cat 1 Lin Noir, where Giulio Ciccone (LTK) led over the top, the break by now reduced to close to half its former size.
On the cat 2 Verrogne that followed soon after, Ciccone took maximum points again to move up to third in the mountains classification, although his sights were still set on the stage win.
By that point, the bunch was closing, Team Visma | Lease a Bike setting the pace for the most part. Going onto the final climb, that GC group had closed to 2'25" behind the 13 riders in the break, who knew their advantage wasn't enough to stay clear.

Up front, Ciccone, Einer Rubio (MOV), Wout Poels (URR), Jan Hirt (NSN) and Enric Mas (MOV) fought gamely to stay clear, but their efforts were inevitably in vain.
