A mass crash marred the closing kilometres of stage 2 of the Giro d’Italia, with dozens of riders held up by the fall which partially blocked the route. Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates) and Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers) were among the GC riders who lost 19 seconds in the finale in San Salvo.
Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious), Patrick Konrad (Bora-Hansgrohe), Eddie Dunbar (Jayco-AlUla) and Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ), as well as the EF Education-EasyPost trio of Hugh Carthy, Ben Healy and Rigoberto Urán of EF Education-EasyPost also lost the same amount after being caught behind the crash.
