Egan Bernal and Thymen Arensman limit losses but can’t match the best on Giro d’Italia’s first GC test

Netcompany Ineos’ two-pronged Giro d’Italia GC attack took a dent on stage 7, when both Egan Bernal and Thymen Arensman lost time on the first summit finish to Blockhaus.

Given his previous struggles on stage 4, it was perhaps not surprising to see Bernal drop first, early on on the climb to Blockhaus before eventual winner Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) even really accelerated.
