Bahrain Victorious rider Alec Segaert claimed the biggest victory of his career at the Giro d'Italia on Thursday, gaining a late jump on the peloton and holding off the chasers to win stage 12.
The Belgian, a debutant at the race, made his move on a sweeping right-hand bend with 3.4km to go, as Visma-Lease a Bike took up the charge to the finish in Novi Ligure. He then averaged more than 50kph, solo, to win by three seconds.
