And that’s five. Tadej Pogacar also scores on stage 16 of the Giro d'Italia, confirming his absolute domination of the pink race. In a stage that was halved due to bad weather, the pink jersey, without forcing too hard, distanced everyone in the last two kilometers, leaving not even crumbs to his opponents.

"The day è began in a peculiar way, we did not know what to do when we started fortunately è everything went well. It was a good breakaway in front for us, we wanted to relax a little bit’. But then Movistar pushed, closed on the attackers and they went very strong".

"In the last two kilometers we tried to control, and è it was enough. It è split the group, we gained. Today we just wanted to stay safe, quiet, a bit ’ like everyone given the weather conditions. The departure after 80 kilometers è was a good decision".
