Jai Hindley is on the verge of making Australian cycling history, as he takes the lead of the Giro d'Italia with just the final time trial to come.
Pello Bilbao - 8:55
The Ineos Grenadiers cyclist cracked inside the final 3 kilometres of the penultimate stage on Saturday, and Hindley rode away to likely glory. "I knew this was going to be the crucial stage with the finish. I knew it was just a brutal finish, and if you had the legs you could make a difference here," Hindley said."When I heard Carapaz was dropping the wheel I just went all out. It was an epic stage."
Jai Hindley powered ahead of his rival, Richard Carapaz, to take a 1-minute-25-second lead with one day left in the Giro d'Italia.
