Breaking news from the world of sport: Segaert wins his first Grand Tour stage at GiroImage source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Alec Segaert joined his first professional cycling team in 2023ByAlastair TelferBBC Sport journalistPublished4 minutes agoBelgium's Alec Segaert claimed his first stage win on a Grand Tour as his Bahrain-Victorious team-mate Afonso Eulalio extended his overall lead in the Giro d'Italia. The 23-year-old Segaert won stage 12 - a 175km race from Imperia to Novi Ligure - after a surprise late attack denied the sprinters their chance of a bunch finish. Eulalio, 29, extended his lead over pre-race favourite Jonas Vingegaard to 33 seconds by claiming intermediate sprint points.
Key sprint rivals Jonathan Milan and Paul Magnier were dropped on the final Bric Berton climb. Asked when he thought about making his attack, Segaert said: "I would say yesterday evening. "I had it always in mind, I was really happy with how the race was going, a hard pace on the climb and then team-mates of the sprinters who were left had to ride hard and this was my chance to go in the final when they were all on the limit.
