Carlos Verona (Lidl-Trek) secured a 40km solo victory on stage 15 at the Giro d'Italia, holding off a chase group and crossing the line 22 seconds ahead of
Florian Stork (Tudor Pro Cycling) and an additional second ahead of Christian Scaroni (XDS Astana) on the streets of Asiago.
At 219km in length, the stage marked the second-longest of this year’s Giro d’Italia, and it was Verona who made a decisive move at the foot of the Passo Dori, holding on over the top of the climb and extended his gap on those behind until his lead was unassailable, soloing to the finish to take the second professional victory of his career and a first Grand Tour stage win.
