Vendrame secures stage 19 Giro victory as Geraint Thomas suffers scare
Andrea Vendrame
Ex-captain lifted World Cups in both white-ball formats and won five Ashes series
ANDREA VENDRAME soloed to victory from a breakaway on stage 19 of the Giro d’Italia in Sappada before a late crash gave Geraint Thomas a scare in his bid for a place on the overall podium.
Vendrame triumphed out of a 19-man breakaway on the 157km stage from Mortegliano as the main favourites pedalled home 16 minutes later.
