  • Ron 

A challenge from Felix Gall spurred on to go for the win Stage 9 of the . Vingegaard responded to Gall’s challenge on the Corno alle Scale with just 900 meters to go.

brilliantly crossed the line in fifth position to keep the with an advantage of 2’24” over Vingegaard prior to the 42km individual trial on Tuesday after the second rest day.

Speaking in the press conference, Vingegaard said: “50 pro wins is a milestone for sure. It’s quite a lot for me and something I’m super happy with. Also to take my second stage win at the Giro is special, so it’s good day for us. We wanted to be more defensive because we’re already one man down and we spent lot of energy at the Blockhaus, but Decathlon was pulling all day, then a hard pace up the climb was better for me and once the was within reach, I was happy to go and take the victory. Felix Gall showed he’s very strong. To gain one minute and more on Jai Hindley and others today is a good thing. Obviously the next goal is the time trial. I’m looking forward to see how I go and how the other guys do. I’ll do my best”.

The Maglia Rosa Afonso Eulalio said: “It’s perfect, my Giro is already a successful one! I’m glad to still have the Maglia Rosa on the rest day and we’ll see what I can do in the time trial. I never imagined that I could make the top 5 of such a stage in the group of the favourites. It’s crazy for me. Before the last 3km, I saved a lot of energy in the bunch. I also recovered from the Blockhaus, which was too hard for me with a more than 200km long stage, I recovered from my crash, from my breakaway on stage 4… now I’m feeling better and better. I don’t know my limits”.
