The Italian road race champion, Filippo Zana, outpaced Thibaut Pinot to win Giro d’Italia stage 18 while race leader Geraint Thomas of Team Ineos maintained his overall advantage
, successfully defending his lead against attacks on the attritional final climb from Roglic and teammates.
“It was a decent day,” Thomas said. “To gain time on Almeida and not get dropped by Primoz, it was a good day, a solid day for sure. I felt pretty good, pretty in control. Primoz, he likes to go hard, then take it easy, then go hard. I gave him a few turns, then I wasn’t sure how he was feeling. Geraint Thomas has Friday’s mountain stage and Saturday’s time trial to negotiate before Sunday’s processional stage in Rome.A furious start to the day had seen a high average speed and numerous attacks but no breakaway was formed until the first of the day’s five categorised climbs, the category-one Passo dello Crosetta.
