Tim Merlier won the 18th stage of the Giro d’Italia. The Belgian won by the minimum in the final sprint that the entire peloton faced together. He crossed before Jonathan Milan, who was brushing his wheel against the finish line. The peloton caught the breakaway formed by Honoré, Maestri, Pietrobon and Fiorelli, who lasted almost the entire day until the last 15 kilometers. Tadej Pogacar, leader of the general classification, further expanded the lead with his pursuers.
