Ben Turner brought Netcompany INEOS home in 11th place after a high octane sprint finale into Pieve di Soligo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Turner finished just outside the top 10 after a twisty, technical finish won by Paul Magnier (Soudal Quick-step) who prevailed after a high-speed run-in to the finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thymen Arensman and Egan Bernal finished in the peloton to retain their overall positions ahead of a crucial final weekend which will decide the general classificaion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The stage had started with a fight to get into the break, but after a small group went clear, the sprinters’ teams seemed content to allow five riders a small advantage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This group were held on a tight leash as a key climb in the final run-in was seen as pivotal for many teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Filippo Ganna, Connor Swift and Magnus Sheffield did a good job in positioning Arensman and Bernal before the Muro di Ca’ del Poggio to ensure the duo were near the front.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The race split here, with GC riders and puncheurs going clear before a reduced peloton chased back on, with Turner now well-placed to contest the sprint.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Yorkshireman, who turned 27 today, fought into the fast-paced final, but was unable to find a way through as Magnier prevailed.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ben Turner brought Netcompany INEOS home in 11th place after a high octane sprint finale into Pieve di…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":700557,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,85],"class_list":["post-700556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/700556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=700556"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/700556\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/700557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=700556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=700556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=700556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
