Stage 9 map & profile | Stage 9 photos

Egan Bernal gets his first Grand Tour stage win.

Weather at the finish at Rocca di Cambio at 1:25 PM local time: 12C (53F), mostly cloudy, with the wind from the west at 13 km/hr (7 mph). There is an 80% chance of rain during the afternoon.

The race: This is the first of seven stages labeled "D"—"of great or severe difficulty"—in the 2021 Giro. Not only is there difficult climbing in store for the riders, the final 1.6 kilometers as well as the finishing straight are unpaved "sterrato" or gravel.

We have the stunning scenery of the Central Appennines to go with a great race.

176 riders started stage nine at 12:26. There was one non-starter from yesterday, Tomasz Marczynski (Lotto-Soudal), who is struggling with post-covid symptoms, including headache, insomnia, dizziness and coordination.

After crashing on the descent of the Godi Pass, Matej Mohoric (Bahrain Victorious), abandoned. He was conscious when he was taken away in an ambulance.

Here's the report from stage winner and new GC leader Egan Bernal's INEOS Grenadiers team:

Egan Bernal launched an emphatic late attack to win stage nine and move into the overall lead of the Giro d’Italia.

The Colombian burst clear of the GC favourites on the gravel roads of Campo Felice, winning solo by seven seconds, and elevating himself into the maglia rosa.

Bernal’s first stage win at a Grand Tour couldn’t have come in more dramatic fashion, with the break caught inside the final kilometre on the steep, traction-limited slopes.

Egan was set up perfectly by his team-mates on the day, with the team taking it up on the Ovindoli climb with Salvatore Puccio and Jonathan Narvaez, before driving onto the final ascent.

Gianni Moscon helped string out the lead group, with overnight leader Attila Valter (Groupama-FDJ) quickly distanced. Bernal now holds a 15-second advantage, with one stage to go before the opening rest day.

Daniel Martinez also finished strongly, taking ninth on the stage. He moved up one spot to 11th on GC, 1:12 behind his team-mate.

Egan Bernal:
"I cannnot believe what is happening. I just won my first stage in a Grand Tour. I made a lot of sacrifices to be in this position after the Tour last year. I’m really happy.

"I was really thinking to do well today but I was not sure to go for the stage. It was more because of my team-mates – they had a lot of confidence in me. I was not sure but they told me: ‘you can do it, we will take the responsibility for you and what happens, happens.’ This victory is more for them because they really believed in me."
