In the absence of a GC battle in the Bergamo hills on stage 15 of the Giro d'Italia, the breakaway trio of Brandon McNulty, Ben Healy and Marco Frigo put on a show, racing for the stage victory as if they were contesting Il Lombardia, the Monument from which much of the day's route was borrowed.
There was no sign of Grand Tour fatigue among the strongest men of the break, and none of them held back, swapping attacks, chases and solo pursuits back on in the final 40km after being in the 17-rider break that formed at the start of the stage.
