Giro d’Italia 2017 – Stage 14 – Castellania – Oropa : 131 km
The 2017 Giro d’Italia is the 100th edition of the Giro d’Italia, one of cycling’s Grand Tour races. The race started on 5 May in Alghero on the island of Sardinia, and ends on 28 May in Milan.
Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb) stormed his way to the finish line atop the Oropa climb to win stage 14 of the Giro d’Italia at the head of a high-powered group, following a hard-fought climb up the final kilometres of the ascent. He out-gunned Ilnur Zakarin (Katusha-Alpecin) and Mikel Landa (Sky) on the finishing straight after reeling in a sustained attack by Movistar’s Nairo Quintana, who finished fourth, 14 seconds back.
The stage win pushed race leader Dumoulin further ahead of his chief rivals on the overall leaderboard. Including the bonus seconds he claimed at the line, Dumoulin picked up a total of 24 seconds on Quintana and 53 on Bahrain-Merida’s Vincenzo Nibali. The Dutchman now leads Quintana by 2:47 with FDJ’s Thibaut Pinot sitting third on GC at 3:25.
