In a day destined for a bunch sprint finish, it was the breakaway who prevailed on the streets of Milan on stage 15 of the Giro d'Italia. The Norwegian Frederik Lavik Dversnes (Uno-X Mobility) powered to his team’s first victory from the front quartet, ahead of Mirco Maestri (Team Polti VisitMalta) and Martin Marcellus (Bardiani CSF 7 Saber), with Maestri's teammate Mattia Bais taking fourth.
Stage favourite Paul Magnier (Soudal Quick-Step) was the man to lead in the peloton behind to the finish line, with Dylan Groenewegen (Unibet Rose Rockets) and Tobias Lund Andresen (Decathlon CMA CGM) in tow.
The breakaway formed in the opening stages of the pan-flat route from Voghera, establishing a gap which hovered around two minutes until the race reached the Milan circuit. After a call for the race to be neutralised at 16km out for the GC men was made, sprint teams scrambled to get riders to the front – but even with the entire peloton chasing them down, the initial break survived, taking turns until 200 metres to go, when Dversnes launched his final sprint.
