After Jonas Vingegaard went clear on the San Giacomo climb on stage 5 of
Tirreno-Adriatico,
Jai Hindley looked to be the strongest of the GC contenders in the group behind, as he briefly went clear with Ben O’Connor as they attempted to chase down the Danish rider.
After the two Australian riders were caught before the top of the climb, Hindley stayed in the group on the fast descent. In the final few hundred metres, the
BORA - hansgrohe rider led out the sprint to the line and looked like he was going to take second place on the stage.
