Healy came close to a second stage win at this year’s chaotic Giro.
BRANDON MCNULTY OF the United States won stage 15 of the Giro d’Italia in Bergamo on Sunday in a three-up sprint following a long breakaway, pipping Ireland’s Ben Healy to deny him a second stage win in this year’s edition.
It was a first win on a Grand Tour for the 25-year-old from Phoenix, who took advantage of his powerful build to clinch the sprint.“It all came together today. I’m so happy. In the end it came down to that last kick and then the sprint. At 150 or 200m I just went for it,” said McNulty, on his fourth Grand Tour.
The 195km stage culminated in a steep climb into the old town where the main peloton raced across the line almost seven minutes adrift.He leads Ineos veteran Geraint Thomas in second place by 1min 08sec. Thomas, meanwhile, has a two-second edge on Primoz Roglic in third.
