After the drama in the mountains on Thursday, this was a more tepid affair. A furiously fast finish saw Ewan storm to a second win at this year’s Giro d’Italia as Attila Valter (Groupama-FDJ) successfully defended the maglia rosa with little trouble. Stage 8 should prove more challenging for the peloton as the race travels from Foggia to Guardia Sanframondi via some sharp climbs.
