Alec Segaert of Bahrain Victorious clinched victory in Stage 12 of the Giro d’Italia, a 175-km route from Imperia to Novi Ligure, with a decisive attack 3 km from the finish line. This win marks Segaert's debut victory in the prestigious cycling event. His teammate, Afonso Eulálio, further solidified his overall lead by snatching bonus seconds at the intermediate sprint, now holding a 33-second advantage over Jonas Vingegaard, the race favorite. Segaert revealed that he had planned his attack the night before, seizing the opportunity when other riders were fatigued. The race featured intense competition, with Movistar attempting to control the pace but ultimately failing to secure a stage win. They aimed to support Orluis Aular, who finished sixth, while several riders, including points classification leader Paul Magnier, were dropped during the climbs. As the Giro progresses, Friday's Stage 13 will take the riders 189 km from Alessandria to Verbania, promising more challenges ahead.
