So far, the Giro d'Italia has been largely positive for Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) as he seems to have rediscovered some of his best form, but stage 16 was a challenging day for the Colombian.
Ineos placed a rider in the early break in Josh Tarling, but the Welshman subsequently crashed out of the race, Bernal's second lost teammate after Brandon Rivera. Then, a crash for co-leader Thymen Arensman saw him struggle with knee pain in the finale.
