Ben Turner suffered an unlucky late puncture on stage 12 of the Giro d\u2019Italia on a day which saw Thymen Arensman and Egan Bernal retain their GC positions.<\/p>\n
Turner worked hard to take on the day\u2019s pair of late climbs, and headed into the finale in a reduced lead peloton, only to see his momentum halted with a puncture with 23 kilometres to go.<\/p>\n
Despite help from Jack Haig and Embret Svestad-Bardseng to return to the bunch, the efforts of a 13-kilometre chase ultimately mean the young Brit was unable to contest the sprint.<\/p>\n
Safely crossing the line in Nove Ligure were Arensman and Bernal, who retained third and 15th overall respectively as the second week nears its conclusion.<\/p>\n
The stage saw a smash and grab solo victory by Alec Segaert (Bahrain Victorious) who launched an opportunistic late move to hold off the bunch and take the win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ben Turner suffered an unlucky late puncture on stage 12 of the Giro d\u2019Italia on a day which…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":596967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-596966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-cycling","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=596966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/596967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=596966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=596966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=596966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
