PINEROLO, Italy (AP) — Matteo Trentin used a late counterattack and some crafty teamwork to win the longest stage of the Giro d'Italia on Thursday, while Steven Kruijswijk held on to a comfortable overall lead with only two challenging legs to go.
Cannondale's Moreno Moser and Trentin's Etixx Quick-Step teammate Gianluca Brambilla were in the lead approaching the finish line when Trentin bridged the gap from a chasing group. Brambilla was told by radio that Trentin was coming while Moser wasn't aware, allowing Trentin to burst past and claim his third victory in a Grand Tour.
"It was a win built with teamwork," Trentin said.
