Jonas Vingegaard stormed away from Giro d’Italia rival Felix Gall to win stage nine, his second stage win in three days, and to cement his status as favourite to win the year’s first Grand Tour.
Gall’s Decathlon CMA CGM team had controlled proceedings all day on the 184km stage from Cervia and the Austrian attempted to repay them with a stage win, launching with 2.2km to go on the gruelling Corno alle Scale climb.
