The Giro d'Italia's 16th stage was shortened due to hazardous weather conditions, including heavy snowfall, on Tuesday after riders had threatened not to take part in the start of day's racing.Difficult weather conditions and sometimes bitter disputes about whether or not certain stages should take place are a regular feature of the Giro.
Runaway Giro d'Italia leader Tadej Pogacar says his current form feels "good enough" to carry him to a rare cycling double as he chases victory in the Italian race and the Tour de France in July."No, come on, the biggest race you can win is the Tour de France, right?"
Tadej Pogacar produced a towering performance on Sunday as he won stage 15 of the Giro d'Italia and extended his lead in the overall standings by almost three minutes.On a sunny Sunday, an early escape group took a five minutes lead as Pogacar's peloton dwindled over a series of climbs.
