Second mountain finish
Third stage win for Giro dominator Pogacar
The Slovenian Tadej Pogacar continues to dominate the Giro d'Italia at will. One day after his time trial victory, the 25-year-old also won the second mountain stage of the tour on Saturday in Prati di Tivo.
In his third stage win, the Giro debutant was once again clearly the strongest in the uphill sprint of a small leading group at the end of the 14 km long final climb ahead of Daniel Felipe Martinez (Bora) and Ben O'Connor (Decathlon), who finished second overall.
Lead extended to 2:40 minutes
Pogacar was once again perfectly supported by his UAE teammate Felix Großschartner up to five kilometers before the finish at 1,450 m above sea level. In the overall classification, the Slovenian extended his lead to 2:40 minutes thanks to the time bonus at the finish. Third after eight days is still Welshman Geraint Thomas (Ineos), who lost two seconds in the sprint and is now 2:58 minutes behind the man in the pink jersey. On Sunday, a hilly 214 km from Avezzano to Naples awaits before the first rest day.
