Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) denied Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) the victory on home soil, coming from behind to win by millimetres atop the Limone Piemonte climb. David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) was third.
The Dane crashed in a rain-slicked roundabout along with most of his teammates on the run-in to the final climb, but emerged relatively unscathed to snatch the overall leader's jersey as stage 1 winner Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) lost contact on the climb.
