Iván García Cortina (Movistar) sprinted to victory at Gran Piemonte, the Spaniard beating Matej Mohorič (Bahrain Victorious) and Alexis Vuillermoz (TotalEnergies) in a finish shorn of the top sprint favourites.

Cortina scored his first win in over two years, proving the quickest finisher from a select group of around 40 riders who had split away from the peloton following the day’s only real difficulty, the climb of Il Pilonetto, at 58km from the finish.
