Giro d'Italia, the climbs are coming. Carlos Verona wins in Asiago, Del Toro increasingly leading, Roglic in deep crisis

Another shake-up. Like skittles, one after the other, the big names of the Giro jump. After Giulio Ciccone, who withdrew due to a bad fall on Saturday, this time it was the turn of Primoz Roglic, the big favorite on the eve, in crisis on the last climb before Asiago.

In the end, despite the help of his teammates, the Slovenian was a minute and a half behind Isaac Del Toro, who was as fresh as a daisy and increasingly dominating the race.

From this Monday, the last week of the Giro, the big mountains are coming. They will surely give further shocks. The pink jersey is still firmly in command. Compared to its rivals it seems blessed by grace. It is true that the road is still long, but the reduction of Roglic, over 4 minutes late, favors it a lot.

Behind the pink jersey, Simon Yates is defending himself well, second at 1 minute and 20". The Spaniard Ayuso, companion of the pink jersey, follows in third place with almost a minute and a half. This Emirates duo, who we don't know if they will explode, is another hot spot in a Giro that has been disastrous so far for the Italians, who have never once been first in a stage.

In the fifteenth, at the finish line in Asiago, after 219 km, the second career success was recorded for the Spaniard Carlos Verona, Ciccone's teammate in Lidl Trek, to whom he dedicated the victory. Second place for Florian Stork, third for Cristian Scaroni, about twenty seconds behind Arona who gave the sixth victory to Lidl Trek, the team of Mads Pedersen, star with 4 stage victories.
