Steven Kruijswijk edged more like a lady Grand Tour win on an agreeable day for the Giro d'Italia pioneer that saw Roger Kluge grab triumph in front of an audience 17.
In the wake of building a three-minute lead in the mountains as of late, Kruijswijk (LottoNL – Jumbo) could relax on the moderately level course from Molveno to Cassano d'Adda
Securely situated inside the peloton, Kruijswijk could permit a mid three-man break control the phase before viewing on as Kluge edged the sprint to take the win.
Kluge (IAM Cycling) coordinated his turn impeccably in the last kilometer, erupting from the pack to surpass Filippo Pozzato (Wilier Triestina-Southeast) and go too far in front of Giacomo Nizzolo (Trek Sagafredo) and Nikias Arndt (Giant Alpecin).
Kruijswijk traveled home inside the peloton, his lead unaltered with four phases to race.
Daniel Oss (BMC Racing), Eugert Zhupa (Wilier Triestina-Southeast) and Pavel Brutt (Tinkoff) shaped the day's breakaway gathering right off the bat and clutched that point of preference until the last 5km of the 196km course.
In the long run they were overwhelmed and the bumping for position started in front of the sprint complete in Cassano d'Adda.
Lars Bak (Lotto-Soudal) was first to make a move before Pozzato hoped to have done what's necessary to take the win, however Kluge had different thoughts and enjoyed it upon himself to reprieve from the pack.
His turn appeared to find his adversaries napping and he could sit up and commend his win as he went too far – the third German champ in this release of the Giro.
