Ben O'Connor has been left gasping as he battled to keep his podium hopes thriving at the Giro d'Italia while three minutes up ahead in the mountainous distance, Tadej Pogacar was taking everyone's breath away with one of the grand tour's truly grand rides.
The amazing Slovenian Pogacar simply rode away from the field to Livigno for a fourth victory of this Giro on Sunday, making the toughest stage of the whole event, with 5400 metres of climbing, seem just like child's play as he effectively sealed overall victory with a week still to go.
Blasting away to victory by almost half-a-minute from former Giro winner Nairo Quintana while his main rivals were another two-and-a-half minutes further back, Pogacar now leads the race by a massive six minutes and 41 seconds from Geraint Thomas after this unforgettable 15th stage.
