Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech) and Michael Storer (Tudor Pro Cycling) showed they are in the unpredictable and uncontrollable GC battle at the Giro d'Italia, rising up the standings as the road climbed high into the mountains between Lake Garda and Trento for the finish atop the San Valentino climb.

Gee closed his eyes and gulped down lungfuls of fresh mountain air after he stopped beyond the finish line on stage 16. He had surged after Simon Yates (Visma-Lease a Bike), then Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost), charged off and dropped race leader Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) with less than 7.5km to go.
