Simon Yates (Mitchellton-Scott) wins stage 15 Giro d'Italia


Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) blasts to Giro d'Italia stage 15 victory and takes his third Stage, he also increases his grip in the overrall standing, he became the first man since Gilberto Simoni in 2003 to win three stages while wearing the maglia rosa at the Giro, riding into Sappada solo to extend his overall race lead. Miguel Ángel López (Astana) took second, 41 seconds behind, Tom Domoulin (Team Sunweb) rounded off the top three and salvaged four bonus seconds.

How it unfolded 







After yesterday’s fearsome finish on Monte Zoncolan, more mountains were on the menu for stage 15 as the race headed into the Dolomites for a day. Rather than face the biggest names of the Dolomites (there was no Fedaia, Giau, Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Gardena, Pordoi), three second category climbs and one third category climb filled out the 176km stage.
