- Giulio Ciccone earns third career Giro win on stage 15
- Carapaz stays in pink jersey with lead of seven seconds
Giulio Ciccone claimed a third career Giro d’Italia stage victory at the summit finish of Cogne, while Richard Carapaz retained his overall lead despite an early crash.
Ciccone (Trek-Segafredo) added victory on stage 15 to previous Giro joy in 2016 and 2019. The Italian escaped from breakaway companions Hugh Carthy (EF Education-EasyPost) and Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain Victorious) to ride the final 18km alone. Buitrago and Antonio Pedrero (Movistar) completed the podium, finishing 1m 31s and 2m 19s behind Ciccone.
