The sun was shining at the start in Castellania as the peloton took off on the shortest road stage of this year’s Giro d’Italia, only 131 km. Roughly the first 100 km of the day was pan out flat before the finishing climb, so an escape group was expected.
The stage win pushed race leader Dumoulin further ahead of his chief rivals on the overall leaderboard. Including the bonus seconds he claimed at the line, Dumoulin picked up a total of 24 seconds on Quintana and 53 on Bahrain-Merida's Vincenzo Nibali. The Dutchman now leads Quintana by 2:47 with FDJ's Thibaut Pinot sitting third on GC at 3:25.
