Maximilian Schachmann (Quick-Step Floors) wins Giro d'Italia stage 18 atop Prato Nevero, he took a well-deserved win on stage 18 of the Giro d’Italia. The German held off the late challenge from of his co breakaway companion Ruben Plaza (Israel Cycling Academy) and Mattia Cattaneo (Androni Giocattoli-Sidermec) at the ski summit of Prato Nevoso.
The trio survived from the day’s early break and, after a series of attacks, came into the final 900 metres together. Schachmann, just a second-year pro, powered clear with just a few hundred meters to go, with Ca
ttaneo the first to buckle under the strain.
Simon Yates (Mitchellton-scott) has crossed the line and lost around 27 seconds. Perhaps Yates will hope that's as bad as it gets for him in the mountains. His rivals have sensed a weakness though and they will try to exploit it.
