Vingegaard Doubles Down to Win Giro Stage Nine
Vingegaard won his second stage and trimmed 40 seconds from Afonso Eulalio’s overall lead as the race heads to a key time trial.
- On Sunday, Jonas Vingegaard secured his second stage victory at the Giro d'Italia, surging ahead on the final climb to Corno alle Scale to take 40 seconds from overall leader Afonso Eulalio.
- Vingegaard previously triumphed on the Blockhaus climb two days ago, demonstrating the climbing form that positions him as pre-race favorite despite Eulalio maintaining the overall lead after capturing stage five.
- Veteran climber Giulio Ciccone attacked 10km from the summit but was caught 1.7km out, allowing Vingegaard to edge Felix Gall by 12sec on the 184km route from Cervia.
- Eulalio maintains a 2 minute, 24 second advantage over Vingegaard in the general classification, with Gall trailing by an additional 35 seconds following the mountain-top finish.
- The peloton observes a rest day Monday before Tuesday's 42km individual time trial along Italy's west coast, described as potentially decisive for title contenders seeking to settle Giro ambitions.
