Carapaz finished fifth on the 17th stage on Wednesday (May 25th, 2022) and is still three seconds ahead of Australian Jai Hindley from the German team Bora-hansgrohe in the overall standings of the 105th Giro. The Colombian Santiago Buitrago won the 168-kilometer section with more than 3,500 meters in altitude in Lavarone.
“After yesterday, many drivers are tired. I was also very tired. The last climb was very tough. At the front, everyone is on the same level. Large gaps weren’t possible today,” said Hindley.
