alexander foliforov giro stage winnerAt 10.85 kilometres, stage 15 in the 2016 Giro d'Italia is an ITT for the climbers. While climbing up Alpe di Siusi 24-year old Russian Alexander Foliforov outperforms the man in pink, Steven Kruijswijk, by 0.16 seconds, yet the Dutchman can take comfort in the fact he puts time into all of his GC opponents. He now leads the overall more than 2 minutes ahead of Esteban Chaves, while Nibali sits in third. (Slideshow route/profile)
