British professional cyclist Simon Yates (BikeExchange–Jayco) has won the eventful 14th stage of the Giro d'Italia.
The 2018 Vuelta winner broke away from a small breakaway group that included Olympic gold medalist Richard Carapaz on the final climb.
The Ecuadorian from the Ineos Grenadiers team finished third in Turin and slipped into the pink jersey of the overall leader.
As the best German, Emanuel Buchmann (Ravensburg) finished the demanding stage over 147 kilometers starting in Santena, 1:10 minutes behind Yates in ninth place, on which the riders had to climb around 3,200 meters in altitude.
Buchmann improved to seventh place overall, 1:58 minutes separating him from Carapaz.
Buchmann's Bora-hansgrohe team-mate Jai Hindley is even closer, the Australian finished second on the day and is just seven seconds behind the new pink jersey wearer.
The Bora drivers Lennard Kämna and Ben Zwiehoff also looked for their chance in attacks.
However, the favorite teams didn't allow much and kept up the pace - the most prominent victim was Juan Pedro Lopez, the Spaniard from Team Trek-Segafredo had to be torn down early and lost the pink jersey after ten days.
Previously, the 105th Giro d'Italia had lost the next top rider.
Team Jumbo-Visma's Tom Dumoulin, who won the second largest national cycling tour in 2017, retired during the stage.
The Dutchman had already fallen far behind in the overall classification in the first Giro week on Mount Etna, on Saturday he got into trouble early on on the way to Turin and got out.
On Sunday, the decisive phase of the Tour of Italy, which ends in Verona on May 29, will be heralded with the first of five difficult high mountain stages.
