He sprinted past Thibaut Pinot and Domenico Pozzovizo with Chaves in tow and finished the brutal 225km stage with a stunning win. The young Brit managed to extend his lead to 32 seconds while Chris Froome lost another minute and fell out of the top 10.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was not surprised because I saw and I felt on Mount Etna already that I had very good legs,\u201d Yates said. \u201cBut it was a very difficult stage and very long so I wasn\u2019t 100 per cent confident before the final. Maybe Froome is suffering from his crashes or maybe he doesn\u2019t have the form, I don\u2019t know. I was surprised to see Fabio Aru lose time, but the Giro is a long race and they could bounce back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bim9jZSlsT_\/?taken-by=simonyatess<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Stage 9: Pesco Sannita to Gran Sasso d\u2019Italia, 225km<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>1 Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) in 5-54-13<br \/>\n2 Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) at same time<br \/>\n3 Esteban Chaves (Mitchelton-Scott) at same time<br \/>\n4 Domenico Pozzovivo (Bahrain-Merida) at 4 secs<br \/>\n5 Richard Carapaz (Movistar) at same time<br \/>\n6 Davide Formolo (Bora-Hansgrohe) at 10 secs<br \/>\n7 George Bennett (LottoNL-Jumbo) at 12 secs<br \/>\n8 Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) at same time<br \/>\n9 Miguel Angel Lopez (Astana) at same time<br \/>\n10 Giulio Ciccone (Bardiani CSF) at 24 secs<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Giro d\u2019Italia General Classification<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>1.
