Battle for the GC Catches Fire
Third on stage 16 and GC, Roglic concedes ground. Welshman back in the Maglia Rosa.
It was a battle for the stage win among the GC contenders at Monte Bondone. Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) tested his rivals with an attack 6km from the top, indication that he is in the hunt for his first ever Grand Tour victory. He did so with an acceleration that left Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) behind. It was a duel between the Portuguese and Geraint Thomas (INEOS Grenadiers). The Welshman missed out on the stage victory but regained the Maglia Rosa as Bruno Armirail (Groupama - FDJ) surrendered it 10km before the finish. Despite losing another important team-mate, Pavel Sivakov, in one more crash, Thomas has an 18 second lead over Almeida and 29 seconds over Roglic.
Lone Canadian entry Derek Gee (Israel - Premier Tech) was again part of the breakaway that went at km 30 and wasn't caught until km 183, finished 38th at 13:35 back and sits 30th in the overall at 39:04 back.
