Giro d’Italia: Vingegaard Wins Stage Nine, Eulálio Keeps Pink Jersey

Jonas Vingegaard secured his second stage win in three days at the Giro d’Italia on Sunday, soloing to victory on the final climb of stage nine while Afonso Eulálio retained the overall leader’s pink jersey.

The Visma-Lease a Bike rider shadowed race rival Felix Gall of Decathlon after the Austrian attacked near the end of the 184-kilometer stage from Cervia to Corno alle Scale, then powered away in the closing kilometer to take the win.

Vingegaard’s teammate Davide Piganzoli finished third, completing a strong team performance for Visma-Lease a Bike on the mountainous stage.

Eulálio of Bahrain Victorious delivered another resilient ride, crossing the line fifth, 41 seconds behind Vingegaard, and maintained his grip on the pink jersey ahead of the race’s first rest day.

Following Monday’s rest day, the riders will face a 42-kilometer individual time trial from Viareggio to Massa on Tuesday’s stage 10, a key test for general classification contenders.
