Einer Rubio sprinted to his first Grand Tour stage victory as he claimed a weather-shortened stage 13 at the Giro d’Italia.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Colombian Movistar rider perfectly timed his sprint to pass Thibaut Pinot and Jefferson Cepeda on the final climb at Crans Montana.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Britain’s Geraint Thomas maintained his two-second lead at the top of the general classification.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Finally, my big day. I worked really hard for this,” said 25-year-old Rubio.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I really wanted to prepare for this Giro. I’ve struggled in the bad weather but I knew that I didn’t have to give up.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I wanted to keep looking for my own opportunities and thanks to God and everyone who helps me, my dream came true today.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The stage was cut from 199km to 74.6km on Friday morning due to heavy rain and flooding, having already been <\/span>shortened on Tuesday<\/span><\/a> from 207km.<\/span><\/p>\n

The start was moved to Le Chable, at the bottom of the Croix de Couer, instead of Borgofranco d’Ivrea, while the rest of the route to Crans Montana was unchanged.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to the stage starting, stage six winner Mads Pedersen of Trek-Segafredo withdrew from the race <\/span>because of illness.<\/span>external-link<\/title><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

He is the 41st rider to leave the race due to Covid or other illnesses.<\/span><\/p>\n
