A Picture-Perfect Attack & the GC Tension Builds | Giro d'Italia 2026 | THEMOVE+
5/21/202638 min
Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down Alec Segaert's perfectly-timed late attack to win Stage 12 over a depleted peloton, which Movistar blew up on a mid-stage climb. They look at how the Segaert read the race perfectly, how the pieces were put into place for his winning move, and what to make of his GC rivals allowing race-leader Afonso Eulálio to take six bonus seconds, along with Ben O'Connor getting four, on the run-in to the finish. They also look forward to tomorrow's Stage 13, giving their picks for the win and if they expect the stage to be won from the breakaway or the peloton.
