Giro: Pogacar pulls farther away

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 22 - Two time Tour de France winner and two-time runner up Tadej Pogacar of Slovenia pulled father away from the field in the Gir d'Italia by coming second in the 17th stage, a 159km high mountain run from Selva di Val Gardena to Passo del Brocon.
    Pogacar, 25, who won the 2020 and 2021 Tours and came second the next two years to Dane Jonas Vingegaard, and who is aiming to become the first rider to do the Giro-Tour double since the late Marco Pantani in 1998, came in behind solo breakaway winner Georg Steinhauser of Germany.
    The Slovenian 'cannibal' has said his lead is big enough for him to save some energy ahead of his Tour bid. (ANSA).
