Giro d'Italia: Richard Carapaz solos to stage 11 win as Del Toro stays in pink
Richard Carapaz won stage 11 of the Giro d'Italia on Wednesday with a solo ride in the last nine kilometres, the leader Isaac del Toro finishing second in a sprint to the line, 10 seconds behind the former Olympic champion. The stage was a challenging 186km ride from Viareggio to Castelnovo ne' Monti which had the most punishing sector on the Giro this year – the Alpe San Pellegrino climb with gradients of around 20%. Although a breakaway group led by nearly a minute with 15km to go, EF Education-EasyPost's Carapaz left the peloton behind and attacked to reel them in, overtaking them with nine km left. The Ecuadorian powered to the finish with a lead of 18 seconds in the final kilometre while Del Toro led the chasers, beating Giulio Ciccone who completed the podium. Del Toro retained the pink jersey while his UAE Team Emirates teammate Juan Ayuso is in second place in the general classification. This report will update shortly
