Groundhog Day for Derek Gee on stage 10 of the Giro d’Italia. Another long breakaway, another second place and, for good measure, another EF Education-EasyPost rider beating him to the line in Viareggio.
There was, however, considerable difference in the detail. In Fossombrone on Saturday, Ben Healy was already well out of sight by the time Gee took out the sprint for a second place that felt almost like a victory. Losing out to Magnus Cort in the three-up sprint here, on the other hand, had a harsher taste, even if the Dane’s finishing speed brooked little argument.
