The Colle dell’Agnello, the Giro’s highest mountain pass, lived up to its billing as the Cima Coppi Friday. It offered a springboard for Vincenzo Nibali to redeem himself with a stage win, but also crushed Steven Kruijswijk’s pink jersey dreams. The LottoNL – Jumbo Dutchman crashed early on the descent, while Nibali pushed on with Orica – GreenEdge’s Esteban Chaves. Although the Colombian couldn’t match the Astana leader, who won the 162-kilometer race to Risoul, France, he took the maglia rosa from Kruijswijk with a third-place finish.

“I’ve won by rage today,” Nibali said. “It hasn’t been easy to handle everything that has happened over the past few days. I dedicate this victory to Rosario [a young pupil of his who died two weeks ago]. I’m very happy. It’s been a terribly hard stage.”

A large breakaway group went away early in the 162-kilometer stage, and as the Colle dell’Agnello began to climb, 2011 Giro winner Michele Scarponi and Lampre – Merida’s Diego Ulissi set off in the lead. Grinding a huge gear, the Astana rider distanced his Italian compatriot and rode to the top of the Cima Coppi alone.

Behind, Orica – GreenEdge was keen to test Kruijswijk, sending several riders to the front, riding a blistering pace for Chaves with 60km to go. Though the efforts shattered the field, they didn’t unhitch Kruijswijk. Nibali was distanced, but he chased back when the pace ebbed.

Close to the top of the climb, Nibali found new life and went to the front to drive the pace. Over the top, it was just the Italian champ, Chaves, and Kruijswijk. Notably, Movistar’s Alejandro Valverde, who was one place ahead of Nibali in third at the start of the day, was dropped.

Disaster struck on the foggy upper slopes of the descent, where visibility was almost null. Kruijswijk overshot a left turn and catapulted into the waist-high snow banks lining the road. He lost valuable time to Chaves and Nibali as he tried to get his bike in working order, with help from the neutral service car. Later, on the sunny lower slopes, Kruijswijk finally got a new bike from his team car.

“I’ve lost the Giro,” he said after the race. “I made a mistake and suddenly I was in the snow. I wasn’t really hurt in the fall but the bike was damaged. Despite all my efforts I lost contact with the others. It hit me really hard.”

He wasn’t the only top rider to crash on the descent — Katusha’s Ilnur Zakarin was seen laying in a meadow on the side of the road for several minutes, receiving medical attention. He later abandoned with a broken clavicle and shoulder blade after starting the day in fifth overall.

Chaves and Nibali found a valuable ally as they descended into the bright valley, linking up with Orica’s Rueben Plaza. With about 34km left, they looked to have a 1:16 lead on the pink jersey. They also picked up Sky’s Nicolas Roche on the long descent.

Under team orders, Scarponi stopped, abandoning his personal ambitions to wait for Nibali’s group. Lotto – Soudal’s Maxime Monfort carried on as stage leader with 33km to go. With Scarponi driving lead GC group, Nibali, Chaves, and company caught Monfort with about 10km to go, early on the 12.85 ascent to the finish in Risoul.

Early on the slopes of the final climb, Kruijswijk looked ragged. Valverde, on the other hand, found a second wind and was chasing only one minute behind his GC rivals.

With 5.5km to go, Nibali tested Chaves with an attack, distancing Sky’s Mikel Nieve and Ulissi, who had been riding with the overall favorites. At first, the Colombian had a reply, but then with a second move, Nibali got a gap. About three kilometers from the top, the Italian champ had stretched his lead to 17 seconds.

Nieve joined Chaves just before the final two kilometers. Their gap to Nibali was out to 25 seconds, and it would grow by another 26 seconds before the finish, where the Italian champ would collect his first win of the Giro. Chaves minimized time lost to Nibali to take the overall lead from Kruijswijk.

“I think it’s the hardest day of the race for me,” Chaves said. “Also it’s the most important — I took the maglia rosa. I’m really, really happy today. The teamwork — unbelievable, all the guys attacking the Angnello. I tried to follow Nibali, but he was stronger today.”

On Saturday, the new leader will face one final mountain test, a 134km race from Guillestre to Sant’Anna di Vinadio. Stage 20 features three category 1 climbs and a category 3 uphill finish. The Giro wraps up Sunday with a likely sprint finish in Torino, Italy.
