Vingegaard Makes His Move, Conquers Blockhaus to Win Giro Stage Seven ...
Vingegaard won by 13 seconds for his first Giro stage victory as Afonso Eulílio lost contact on the final climb.
- On Friday, Jonas Vingegaard surged alone with just over 5 km to the top to win stage seven at Blockhaus, claiming his first career Giro stage win by 13 seconds from Austrian Felix Gall and moving to second overall.
- Starting Friday 15th overall, over six minutes behind Afonso Eulalio, Vingegaard targeted the first summit finish on the 245-kilometer stage from Formia through the Apennines, the Giro's longest and toughest test yet.
- An early five-man breakaway led by sprint specialist Jonathan Milan built a six-minute gap with 60 km remaining before fading, as Visma-Lease a Bike pushed up in support and dropped Italian rival Giulio Pellizzari near the finish.
- Eulalio retained the pink jersey despite finishing nearly three minutes behind Vingegaard, now 3 minutes 17 seconds ahead, while Gall's second-place finish moved him to third overall, 17 seconds behind and positioned as Vingegaard's biggest threat.
- Vingegaard pursues history as the eighth rider to win all three Grand Tours before the 109th Giro concludes May 31 in Rome, with Saturday's 156-kilometer stage from Chieti to Fermo offering the next test.
