Elia Viviani (quick-Step Floor's) wins stage 13 in Nervesa della Battaglia, Giro d'Italia.
His third stage victory after winning the first opening stages in Jerusalem, Israel.
A fine sprint from Viviani to take his third win of this Giro. A teammate dropped him off on the wheel of Modolo, who went very early to close down the Wilier rider - perhaps inspired by Bennett yesterday? Viviani showed his track skills to squeeze through a gap and he surged past Modolo convincingly, punching the air as he crossed the line.
How it unfolded
With the mountains looming over the weekend, the sprinters would get one last chance to do their thing in the second week of the Giro d'Italia. There was little resistance to the breakaway going and a group of five quickly formed off the front. The Italian Pro Continental teams were unsurprisingly present, as were a couple of WorldTour interlopers.
