Colombia's Egan Bernal on Monday
claimed the crown in this year's Queen of the Dolomites stage
featuring the highest peak in the Giro d'Italia, extending his
overall lead after coming in alone at Cortina d'Ampezzo.
Bernal crossed the 2,233m Giau Pass first and went on to break
away from the leading group on the descent to Cortina, the Jewel
of the Dolomites.
Monday's stage was a 153km leg from Sacile to Cortina, shortened
by 60km due to bad weather.
Bernal preceded France's Romain Bardet, second, and Italy's
Damiano Caruso, third, both a 27".
In the general classification Bernal now holds a 2'24'' lead
