Jonas Vingegaard takes a second mountain top victory at stage 9 of the Giro d'Italia

Jonas Vingegaard won the Giro d'Italia's second mountain top finish on Sunday, attacking Felix Gall (Decathlon CMA CGM) J (Visma-Lease a Bike) one kilometre from the line to take his second stage win of this year's Giro d'Italia.

Gall (Decathlone CMA CGM) attacked what remained of the GC favourite's group just over 2km taking Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) with him, but the Austrian was unable to resist the Dane's move under the flamme rouge.

Vingegaard's team mate, Davide Piganzoli put in a remarkable ride to finish third, while the maglia rosa Afonso Eulálio (Bahrain Victorious) was fifth and retains the overall lead, though with a reduced advantage.

Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) had seemed set to take the stage win after bridging to the day's breakaway, leading into the final 2.5km, but when his compatriot, Giulio Pelizzari, one of Red Bull-Bora hansgrohe's GC hopefuls, was dropped, both Visma-Lease a Bike and Decathlon CMA CGM reacted.

Ciccone was quickly brought back and it seemed Gall and Vingegaard wold sprint for the win, but the Dane showed his superiority, attacking and instantly dropping the Austrian, to take his second mountain top victory of the race's opening week.
