After a phenomenal team ride throughout the stage, Team Sunweb continued their successful year as Jai Hindley sprinted to a Giro d'Italia stage win at Laghi di Cancano and Wilco Kelderman moved into the race lead.
On the queen stage of the Giro, Team Sunweb set out with a plan to make the race hard in an effort to take the pink jersey. One-by-one the team peeled off after giving it their all on the famous Stelvio ascent. Jai Hindley followed the infernal pace set at the front by Ineos, marking Geoghegan Hart, as Wilco Kelderman dug deep behind. At the finish Hindley showed a clean pair of heels and unleashed a great uphill sprint to take the stage win, Team Sunweb's Men's program's 16th of the year. Meanwhile, Kelderman showed true fighting spirit, crossing the line with enough time in hand to move into the Maglia Rosa; rounding off a great day for the team, doing the double as they take the stage and the overall race lead.
