Stage 9 map & profile | Stage 9 photos

Hard to beat winning a Giro stage while wearing pink.

Weather at the finish, Gran Sasso d'Italia, at 1:45 PM, local time: 22C (72F), cloudy, with the wind from the ENE at 6 km/hr (4 mph). 40% chance of showers during the afternoon.

The race: 171 riders began the stage at 11:09 AM. Jakub Mareczko of the Wilier Triestina team abandoned in the feed zone.

Here's the organizer's stage summary:

The Maglia Rosa, Simon Yates (Mitchelton – Scott), won Stage 9 of the 101st Giro d’Italia, Pesco Sannita-Gran Sasso d’Italia (Campo Imperatore) of 225km. Thibaut Pinot (Groupama – FDJ) and Esteban Chaves (Mitchelton – Scott) finished second and third.

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner and Maglia Rosa, Simon Yates, said: “I realize how big it is to win my first stage with the Maglia Rosa. That one is for the boys who rode at the front all day. It’s really nice. Since the beginning of the day we believed in the possibility of winning the stage as well as defending the Maglia Rosa.”

And here's the report from stage winner and GC leader Simon Yates' Mitchelton-Scott team:

Donning the Maglia Rosa, Britan Simon Yates has won stage nine of the Giro d’Italia to extend his overall lead.

The 25-year-old crossed the line ahead of Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) and teammate Esteban Chaves. With a time gap to their other rivals, Yates now leads the race by 32seconds to Chaves who moves up into second overall and 38seconds to Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) who drops to third.

Happy with the break:
Fourteen riders rode off the front as the flag dropped for the 225km stage and with Gianluca Brambilla (Trek Segafredo) the closest threat on the general classification at six-minutes 40seconds down, Mitchelton-SCOTT let them ride out to a sizable advantage.

Happy to let them contest the stage, Svein Tuft and Sam Bewley rode tempo with the margin hovering between seven and eight minutes.

Team effort:
After hours on the front, Astana then took up the chase inside the last 40km and brought the stage victory back into contention.

With 20km to go Mitchelton-SCOTT moved back to the front with Roman Kreuziger before Jack Haig took the reins and put in another mammoth effort to end the day of the final surviving breakaway riders before peeling off and leaving the rest up to his leaders with less than three kilometres remaining.

Pink beauty:
It was Giulio Ciccone (Bardiani-CSF) and Domenico Pozzovivo (Bahrain-Merida) who were the most active in the final two kilometres, but they were chased repeatedly by Pinot with Yates and Chaves on his wheel.

Timing his run to perfection, Yates left it to the final 100m to launch from the wheel and come around for a prestigious victory in the pink jersey.

Simon Yates – Stage winner/Race leader:
“That one was for the boys, the big guys who’ve been riding on the front all day. They’ve had a couple of tough days, always riding on the front on some really long stages. That’s for those guys.”

"From the beginning of the stage today, we were always thinking that if we kept the break close enough then it might be possible for the stage. Once Astana showed some interest in the stage then I knew it was possible. You never know deep into the final."

“It was a very long stage, a hard race in the end, I'm really tired but I'm happy that I managed to win the stage. I said from the beginning that we came here to win.”
