00:10The final stage
00:11before tomorrow's ceremonial finish
00:13in Rome takes place in Friuli
00:15Venezia Giulia.
00:17It's a beautiful stage, elevated
00:20by the double ascent to Piancavalo
00:21and steeped in the memory of the earthquake
00:23that devastated an entire community
00:2550 years ago.
00:28On May 6th, 1976
00:31From Gemona del Friuli to Biancavalo
00:34200km, rich in history
00:37recalling iconic victories
00:38such as Pantani in 1998
00:40Landa in 2017
00:42and Hart in 2020
00:44Yesterday's magnificent stage
00:46was won by the team dominating this Giro
00:49Wisma Lisebaik. Once again
00:51a yellow jersey crossed the line
00:52first, but not the whole team leader
00:54Jonas Wienegaard
00:55who's been wearing the pink jersey for 6 days now
00:58Instead, it was one of his most loyal
01:00domestiques, Sepp Gauss
01:02winner of the 2023 Vuelta
01:04You're riding history SFE
01:06You're riding history, come on!
01:08It's been hard to enjoy yesterday
01:09because it was a long travel after
01:11and already mentally preparing for a hard day today
01:14We would like to try and go for it again
01:16with Jonas
01:18It'll be a hard day
01:19The 31-year-old American
01:21was initially sent up the road
01:23by his captain to control the race
01:25Then, once given the green light
01:27he reeled in a brilliant Giulio Ciccone
01:29and beat him on the final stretch of a climb
01:31that proved too demanding for the Italian
01:33Ciccone was a standout protagonist
01:36attacking repeatedly
01:37and cresting first ever Passo Duran
01:39Passo Coy
01:40Forgellas Taulanza
01:41and the Jao
01:43Cimacopi
01:44while placing second on the Falsarego
01:47With the points collected
01:48he took the blue jersey
01:49as best climber from Vingegaard
01:51a title he already claimed in 2019
01:53and will try to defend today
02:06Today's stage begins with a rolling section
02:08across the Tagliamento Plain
02:10around Gemona
02:11The climb to Piancavalo is tackled twice
02:13the first time after 132 km
02:16and again for the summit finish
02:18It's ideal terrain for a move from Vingegaard himself
02:22or from riders who pose no threat
02:24in the general classification
02:25but are targeting a jersey
02:27like the big surprise of the 2026 Giro
02:30Eulaglio currently wearing the white jersey
02:32as best young rider
02:34It's a honour for me
02:35to share the podium with Jonas
02:37he's one of the strongest riders ever
02:40for me it's a honour
02:42to stay with him on the podium
02:50A beautiful sunny day sets the stage
02:53for this penultimate stage of the Giro
03:06Of the 184 riders who started in Bulgaria
03:11152 take the start today
03:24Against the breathtaking backdrop shaped by the Tagliamento River
03:28the peloton immediately stretches out
03:30with Jonathan Milan leading the way
03:34At Kilometre 11 a breakaway of five forms
03:37Haig, Lechmissund, Silva, Huens and Gienz
03:41The peloton allows them to go
03:43and three riders bridge across in pursuit
03:46Tarozzi, Warbase and Lievins
03:48However, Lievins soon abandons the effort
03:51leaving the other two chasing the leading group
03:54Scenes reminiscent of another era as Jonathan Milan
03:57who grew up in Booyah rides through his hometown
04:09He stops to embrace fans and family
04:11then sets off again visibly moved
04:13carried by the cheers and warmth of his people
04:19But the race waits for no one
04:25After 50km the five leaders hold just under a one-minute advantage
04:30over Tarozzi and Warbase
04:31and as much as 4 minutes and 20 seconds over the peloton
04:45At Kilometre 70 after a tremendous effort
04:48Tarozzi and Warbase bridge across to the five leaders
04:51while the peloton's gap stretches beyond five minutes
05:03At the intermediate sprint in Forgaria del Friuli
05:06after nearly 74km of racing
05:08It's going to be difficult
05:10Tarozzi is going to have to fight for this
05:11alongside Lechmissund and Silva
05:15The riders pass through in this order
05:17Silva, Lechmissund, Tarozzi, Gienz and Huens
05:27In Claudsetto, under the banner of the third category
05:30King of the mountains
05:31It goes to Andreas Lechmissund
05:33Lechmissund, crests first
05:35ahead of Huens, Silva and Gienz
05:37The situation is ideal for Giulio Ciccone
05:40who will tackle Pian Cavallo
05:42with a strong chance of retaining the blue jersey
05:44The Visma-Lisa bike team hits the front as the climb begins
05:48immediately lifting the pace
05:50Now they start to execute their plan for the day
05:52to carry the Maglia Rosa
05:54to his fifth stage victory at the Giro
05:56At 135 km
06:00The group's delay is 3 minutes and 58
06:043.58
06:05At 135 km
06:10Riders begin to drop from the peloton
06:12including Eulaglio
06:13whose white jersey is now under threat
06:15with Pinganzoli chasing at 1 minute and 3 seconds in the classification
06:19Tarozzi and Silva lose contact with the breakaway
06:22while Vingegaard's men in yellow are relentless
06:25cutting the gap to the 5 leaders ahead to just 2 minutes
06:31Haig, Warbase and Lechmissund dig deep and cross the summit of the Pian Cavallo KOM in that order
06:40At 36 km to go
06:43the 3 riders out front are joined by Arrieta, Crescioli and Huens
06:48At the Red Bull KM just over 23 km from the finish
06:52Arrieta passes first ahead of Warbase and Crescioli
06:58The six breakaway riders begin the second ascent of Pian Cavallo
07:02with their advantage over the peloton unchanged
07:06With 11 km to go
07:08Jonas Vingegaard decides it's time to make his move
07:12accelerating with a pace no one else can match
07:15He catches Crescioli and Lechmissund
07:18and then rides away solo with around 10 km remaining
07:24Behind the Dane, Galle is in pursuit while Guy and Hindley launch a counter-attack
07:28overtaking Lechmissund and Crescioli
07:34Eulaglio has recovered and is among the front contenders
07:41Pinganzoli bridges across to him and the two will battle for the white jersey over these final 7 km
07:46young, talented and brave
07:48they may one day fight for an even more prestigious jersey
07:54With 5 km to go
07:56Galle is scored by Hindley and Guy
07:58who tries to distance Arendsman
07:59currently 4th in the general classification
08:02just one place ahead of him
08:05Everyone is suffering, chasing their goals
08:08but the only rider climbing, almost flying
08:11with apparent ease is the dominant force of this Giro
08:14Jonas Vingegaard
08:15His finish, sealing his 5th stage victory in this Giro
08:19is triumphant
08:20Behind the Dane, 4 riders sprint for 2nd place
08:23with Galle taking it ahead of Hindley, Guy and Arendsman
08:31You're the strongest rider here
08:33He's never come to Italy before
08:35and raced the Giro d'Italia
08:37in 2026
08:38he flipped the script
08:39he'll be racing the Tour de France in July
08:41but he wanted this one badly
08:43and he's taken it with both hands
08:45it's been a faultless Giro d'Italia
08:47from a faultless rider
08:50Jonas Vingegaard
08:51stand and salute this man
08:52the Maglia Rosa
08:54the great Dane makes history
08:56and takes the triple crown
08:58and wins the Giro
09:11It's obviously nice that I can honour all the victims also from the earthquake
09:16it's also special for me to have been riding in this jersey today
09:23Bernal finishes 6th
09:24followed by Eulaglio
09:26then Caruso
09:26Storer and Pinganzoli
09:28the general classification remains unchanged
