Olav Kooij sprinted to victory on stage 12 of the Giro d’Italia after a sterling leadout from Wout van Aert in the final kilometre.
After Van Aert peeled off, Kooij jumped into the slipstream of Picnic-PostNL's Casper van Uden with the finish in sight. The Visma sprinter then came around his fellow Dutchman to pip him on the line, holding off a late charge from Ben Turner and Mads Pedersen in the process. Van Uden, the winner of stage four in Lecce, held on for second ahead of Turner.
