Jhonatan Narváez vs Paul Magnier - Giro d'Italia maglia ciclamino swings in favour of Ecuadorian ahead of the upcoming hilly stages

Jhonatan Narvaez finishes stage 15 alone in the maglia ciclamino.

Jhonatan Narváez (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) quietly collected more points toward the maglia ciclamino competition during stage 16 on the roads to Cari in the Giro d'Italia. The Ecuadorian inched closer to leader Paul Maginer (Soudal-QuickStep), adding mounting pressure onto the Frenchman to win the only remaining sprint stage in Rome on Sunday.

"I will try to keep the jersey, but Narváez is now targeting the jersey. We saw that in the intermediate sprints, and he was even up there in the Milan sprint. I will have to fight for it," Magnier told the assembled media.
