The second phase of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia started with a lengthy transfer from Israel to Sicily for three stages on the island off the toe of the Italian boot and then onto the mainland for a flat stage and two summit finales. 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Rohan Dennis (BMC) carried the maglia rosa to Sicily💦 with the first true test of his GC capabilitie💧s to come on Mount Etna on stage 6.

Refreshed after a day off for the transfer from Israel, Lotto Fix All's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tim Wellens claimed victory on a punchy uphill finale in Caltagirone on stage 4. The race lead remained with Dennis, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Chris Froome (Team Sky) lost some time. Michael Woods (EF-Drapac) managed to steal a few seconds, as did 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) in a move that would presage his sparkling performances in the mounಞtai📖ns later in the week.

The active volcano, Mount Etna, proved to be a suitable location for the GC action to heat up on stage 6, and Mitchelton-Scott seized control, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Chaves going in the early breakaway and staying clear until Yates jumped across to him in the final kilometers of the climb. The pair opened up 26 seconds on a group of chasers that was missing maglia rosa Dennis. The move put Yates into the overall race lead by 16 seconds ahead of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb), with Chaves third.

The respite in climbing was brief, and two 200+km days followed, with back-to-back summit finishes. The first, to Montevergine di Mercogliano, was a fast grind to the finish that did little to change the overall classification. It was a fine platform for the talents of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Richard Carapaz (Movistar), who jetted away in the fꦰinale to claim the first Grand Tour stage victory by an Ecuadorean rider.
