Italy's Lorenzo Fortunato of the Eolo-Kometa team climbed to victory in the 14th stage of the Giro d'Italia on the summit of Monte Zoncolan on Saturday. Colombian Egan Bernal of Ineos was the first of the favourites to cross the finish line to consolidate his hold on the leader's pink jersey. The stage covered 205km from Cittadella to Monte Zoncolan on the border with Austria with a gruelling final kilometre where the gradient was at times more than 20 percent. ea/pb
