Einer Rubio wins first major mountain stage of the Giro d'Italia. Groupama-FDJ climber Thibaut Pinot finishes second for the fourth time this season.

Geraint Thomas finishes in 10th place, 3:13 behind the pink jersey. Stage was cancelled because of bad weather and state of disrepair of the peloton, undermined by Covid and diseases."A big, big disappointment. It is often the winner who is right but I am disappointed, it was a great opportunity," lamented Pinot.
