The 13th stage of the Giro d'Italia was planed on Friday after a showdown between the peloton and the organizers. Colombian Einer Rubio won after only 74 km.
The episode was yet another jolt in a Giro that has been accumulating problems since the start on May 6. About forty riders, including the great favorite Remco Evenepoel, have already dropped out because of Covid-19 or other viruses. The weather has been particularly bad for ten days, with dramatic floods in northern Italy.
