The Dutchman had already fallen far behind in the overall classification in the first Giro week on Mount Etna, on Saturday he got into trouble early on on the way to Turin and got out.

According to his own statements, the French co-favorite Romain Bardet (DSM) was also the day before “unable” to continue. Bardet, winner of three stages in the Tour de France, was already ill on the twelfth stage on Thursday. The 31-year-old was only 14 seconds behind the pink jersey when he left.
