Irishman Ben Healy soloed to victory on stage eight of the Giro d’Italia to claim a first Grand Tour stage win on debut as an attack from Primoz Roglic found signs of weakness in overall favourite Remco Evenepoel.
The 22-year-old Healy delivered on the huge promise he showed during the Classics campaign as he powered away from 12 breakaway companions to take on the final 50km of the 207km stage from Terni to Fossombrone alone, winning by almost two minutes from Derek Gee.
