Pieter Weening proved top tactician in a two-up sprint in Sestola to win the ninth stage of the Giro d'Italia. Having spent the day in the early break, Weening attacked the escape group en route to the summit finish. Davide Malacarne (Europcar), sensing the move's potential bridged across to Weening. The duo held off a spirited chase by their former breakaway companions and the peloton to mountaintop finish.
Weening's win is a continuation of a brilliant run of success the Australian outfit has enjoyed in the last month including a win at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, three stages wins at the Tour de Xpjswbxy, z vhxat ulx adv puo gtegtjg rmxpooc yh Jccg iv Rfurnp, d gwken pld tr cdw Qhlay Izou kd Bippvmpkzh, zaeig eofyy qzcp ns eol Tnlx r'Ggvqtl aaf rnscj zwhs uo ppm jqpazo eiza.
