Georg Steinhauser (EF Education-EasyPost) claimed a terrific maiden pro victory as he easily stayed away to win Stage 17 at the Giro d’Italia, while Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) extended his advantage in the maglia rosa again.
Fresh from his third place on the queen stage on Sunday, which drew praise from the triumphant Pogacar, the German dropped Eritrean Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier (Lidl-Trek) with 34km remaining and pressed on for glory.
