Cycling Heroes: The Golden Years

The Race: Today was a stage with some bumps, but nothing like the previous two stages. Early on a trio of Marco Bandiera, Giacomo Berlato and Iljo Keisse escaped the pack, but never built a substantial lead. With about 30 kilometers remaining they were rounded up. Then several other breaks were attempted, but come time for the sprint, all were caught.

Lampre-Merida played it perfectly, launching Sacha Modolo to win his second stage this Giro (he also won stage 13).

The GC boys all stayed safely tucked into the peloton with no changes to the top ranks of the standings.
