Arnaud Demare sprinted to his third win at the 2022 road cycling's Giro d'Italia on Friday (20 May) as he claimed stage 13 in Cuneo.
After a four-man breakway was caught in the last kilometre, the Frenchman emerged as the winner from the final bunch sprint, beating Phil Bauhaus of Germany and Mark Cavendish of Great Britain, respectively second and third.
Demare has now eight wins overall at the Giro and extends his lead in the points classification: "It was an incredible day, they really resisted in the front, but the guys did a great job. It was an absolutely monstrous lead-out. It was a very superb collective job," the Groupama-FDJ sprinter said after the race.
"When I got here, I told myself ‘It’d be nice to win one’. In 2020 it was the same, you always need to keep looking for more. I’m really happy."
Spain's Juan Pedro Lopez will defend his GC leader's pink jersey for the tenth day on Saturday when the riders will face this year's shortest stage, a hilly 147-km circuit race around Turin with four challenging climbs and 3,000 metres of ascents.
Meanwhile the Giro lost one of its favourites: just 35km into today's stage, Frenchman Romain Bardet was forced to abandon the race while he was fourth overall due to stomach issues that worsened overnight.
