Jonas Vingegaard takes the lead in Tirreno-Adriatico in the first mountain stage with a show of strength.
The Danish Tour de France winner wins the fifth section solo in Valle Castellana with a lead of over a minute over Spaniard Juan Ayuso and Australian Jai Hindley.
Vingegaard attacks on the San Giacomo Pass with almost 29 kilometers to go. No one can follow the start on the steepest part of the climb. At the top of the pass, the 27-year-old had a lead of almost a minute, which he extended until he reached the finish. In the general classification, Vingegaard is now 54 seconds ahead of Ayuso and 1:20 minutes ahead of Hindley.
Froome gives up
Chris Froome has to abandon the race due to a broken scaphoid in his hand. The four-time Tour de France winner crashed in the back third of the peloton on Tuesday. Initially there was no fear of serious injury, but now surgery is necessary.
The general classification will be determined on Saturday at Monte Petrano. The almost eleven kilometer long and on average 7.9 percent steep climb is the finale of the 180 kilometer long stage. (SDA)
