VIDEO: Ben Healy launches a crazy attack on Thibaut Pinot in the fight for the Mountains jersey

Ben Healy can already be considered a revelation of cycling in 2023. After his great start to the year in the classics, he is confirming his quality in the Giro d'Italia with a stage victory, a second place and a lot of spectacle.

He couldn't get into the breakaway at the start of stage 19 on the way to Tre Cime de Lavaredo, but that hasn't stopped him from trying to play. With the breakaway more than five minutes away, he launched a brutal attack that sent the peloton crazy as Thibaut Pinot, the leader of the mountains classification ahead of the EF Education-EasyPost rider, came out to follow him.

The squad, which was asleep at the time, had to react. INEOS raised its pace to not let the Frenchman go. Ultimately, Pinot hunted down Healy. Then the Irishman tried another attack that dried up the FDJ one again. In a Giro where almost nothing happens Ben Healy is a blessing.
