Benat Intxausti gets a clear win in Giro stage 8

The Race: With its lumpy profile and serious hilltop finish, it was inevitable that this stage would be filled with aggression. And it was.

After several breakaways were brought back to the pack, a group of four established themselves. Steven Kruijswijk was the first to go truly clear, and was joined by Franco Pellizotti, Carlos Betancur and Kristof Vandewalle.

The quartet (then a trio after Pellizotti was dropped) built a sizeable lead, at one point, nearly ten minutes.

The pack began to close up to the trio and when they started the final ascent to Campitello Matese, the gap was less than half of what it had been.

Kruijswijk dropped the other two. But behind him, the chase had been closing in and he was soon passed by many chasers. Benat Intxausti and Sebastien Reichenbach blasted by, followed by a group with Alberto Contador, who was doing quite well, despite his sore shoulder.

Intxausti went solo and got a beautiful hilltop stage win. Contador managed his fellow GC contenders well, grabbing a couple of bonus seconds in an intermediate sprint to remain the Giro's GC leader.
