VIDEO: Sparks fly between Einer Rubio and Ben Healy in battle for King of the Mountains points at the Giro d'Italia

In one of the highlights of the day on stage 15 of the 2023 Giro d'Italia, Einer Rubio and Ben Healy took place in a fierce sprint atop of each King of the Mountains classification, fighting to get points for the blue jersey.

In the first big battle they fought, the biggest (a first-rate port that gave 40 points to whoever passed through Valico de Valcava first), they almost went to the ground. And it is that the road was narrowed a lot by the spectators in the last meters of the ascent and the Irishman tried to sneak inside the Colombian. There was contact and for several meters, they were pushing each other until the Movistar rider gave way.
