Stage 16 of the Giro d'Italia exceeded any p🎃undit's expectations in terms of drama, but it was not only the high mountains and the attacks of the GC favourites that provided the spectac🦹le.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb), the race leader, was seen curiously drifting back to the team car at a point uncomfortably c📖lose to when the fireworks were expected to start. The Dutchman said he simply "could not hold it any longer", and had a desperate pit stop on the verge just before the start of the final climb to the Umbrailpass.

His rivals slowed for a time, but as the climb kicked in, Ilnur Zakarin (Katusha-Alpecin) couldn't contain himself, and kicked off the attacks, followed by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nairo Quintana (Movistar) and Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Me𒈔ꦯrida).

The result, Nibali went solo over the top and used his stellar descending skills to cat𒈔ch early breakaway rider Mikel Landa (Sky), and then out-sprinted him to win the stage, while Dumoulin gave up more than two minutes. He kept the race lead, but only by 31 seconds over Quintana, with Nibali leapfrogging Thibaut Pinot (FDJ) into third.
