Larry Warbasse played his breakaway cards to near-perfection on stage 13 at the Giro d'Italia until a tactical "mistake" on the final climb of the day, Ungiasca, left him out of position and then out of contention in Verbania.

When the decisive attacks kicked off on the steeper sections of the last climb, Warbasse could only watch as the breakaway split apart, and Alberto Bettiol (XDS Astana) went on to claim the day's victory in front of home crowds.
