Even though Jai Hindley won Sunday’s 9th stage of the Giro, the Spaniard Juan Pedro Lopez still succeeded in retaining the pink jersey as the leader of the race.

Winner of the first stage on Friday, Mathieu Van der Poel will start the fourth stage with the leader’s pink jersey on his shoulders this Tuesday in Avola, Sicily.

By winning the time trial on Sunday, the final stage of the 75th Tour de Romandie, Aleksandr Vlasov won the general classification and thus succeeded Geraint Thomas on the roll call of winners.
