Jai Hindley on verge of history as Australian takes Giro d'Italia lead after Richard Carapaz cracks
The TelegraphJai Hindley storms into pink jersey with one stage to go Richard Carapaz cracks, losing 1min 28sec on final climb Mikel Landa still third, but closes gap on Carapaz to 26sec Alessandro Covi wins final mountain stage at the Giro Stage-by-stage details | Remaining riders | Latest results Jai Hindley is poised to become the first Australian winner of the Giro d'Italia after taking control of the race on the penultimate stage in the Dolomites. The Bora-Hansgrohe rider began the day three seconds behind Richard Carapaz of Ineos Grenadiers but surged ahead of his rival on the final climb of the Passo Fedaia. With only a 17.4 kilometres time trial in Verona to come on Sunday, Hindley's lead of 1min 25sec should be ample to see him secure a first grand tour victory. Victory on the stage went to Italian Alessandro Covi, riding for UAE Team Emirates, who was part of an early breakaway and made his move on the penultimate climb before holding on comfortably for victory.
