Giro d’Italia: Tadej Pogacar in first stage win despite mechanical issue

Tadej Pogacar recovered from a mechanical issue at the bottom of the final climb to earn his first stage win at the Giro d’Italia.

The Giro favourite was third in Saturday’s opening stage and suffered a puncture in Sunday’s 161km mountain stage, about 11km from the summit finish at Santuario di Oropa.

The two-time Tour de France winner hit the tarmac right in front of his team car, but was unhurt and was immediately helped onto a new bike.

The Slovenian, 25, then rode to victory, 27 seconds ahead of Daniel Martinez and Great Britain’s Geraint Thomas, to take the overall lead from Jhonatan Narvaez.
