Giro d’Italia 2026 S12: Bahrain Victorious as Segaert Attacks Late for Solo Win
On May 21, Stage 12 of the 2026 Giro d’Italia (Imperia–Novi Ligure) came to an end. The 175km stage included two climbs and one intermediate sprint.
A large breakaway group formed early in the race, but during the climbing section, Movistar Team pushed a brutal pace at the front of the peloton, dropping many major sprinters from teams such as Soudal Quick-Step, Lidl–Trek, and Decathlon AG2R.
After the peloton reeled in the breakaway, the race entered the urban finale. Team Visma | Lease a Bike closely monitored attacks. Still, Bahrain Victorious rider Segaert took advantage of the confusion caused by road construction barriers and launched a decisive solo move with 3km remaining.

After the stage, Eulalio continued to hold the pink and white jerseys, Magnier kept the purple jersey, and Vingegaard remained in the blue jersey.

On May 22, Stage 13 of the 2026 Giro d’Italia (Alessandria–Verbania) finished after a 189km race featuring two climbs and one sprint point.
With the peloton showing little interest in chasing, a 15-rider breakaway quickly built an advantage of more than 12 minutes and became the focus of the stage.
As the race entered the final 20km of climbing, the breakaway gradually split apart until only Astana rider Bettiol and Uno-X rider Leknessund remained in contention for the stage win.
Leknessund repeatedly attacked in an attempt to weaken his rival, but Bettiol proved stronger and launched a decisive acceleration 200 meters before the summit of the final climb. He quickly opened a gap and extended it further on the descent.
Bettiol eventually soloed to victory with a 30-second advantage, earning Astana its third stage win of the 2026 Giro d’Italia.
After the stage, Eulalio retained the pink and white jerseys, Magnier kept the purple jersey, and Vingegaard remained in the blue jersey.

On May 23, Stage 14 of the 2026 Giro d’Italia (Aosta–Pila) concluded after a demanding 133km mountain stage featuring five climbs and one intermediate sprint.
A massive breakaway of more than 30 riders formed early in the race, but repeated climbs gradually whittled the group down. Meanwhile, Team Visma | Lease a Bike controlled the peloton throughout the day, keeping the gap under three minutes.
At the intermediate sprint, Jhonatan Narváez collected enough points to overtake Magnier and claim the purple jersey. Visma then continued to raise the pace in the mountains,
causing several major riders — including Magnier, Eulalio, Bernal, and Pellizzari — to lose contact.
Inside the final 5km, Jonas Vingegaard attacked after his teammates completed their mountain train duties. He quickly dropped all rivals and soloed to victory with a 50-second advantage.
Former pink jersey holder Eulalio lost significant time, allowing Vingegaard to take over both the pink and blue jerseys.
After the stage, Narváez wore the purple jersey, while Eulalio retained the white jersey.
