00:00 One kilometer to go with just a second to the Italian.
00:03 And Brandon McNulty looks around and checks and sees that he's there.
00:07 - Well, Healy now, what does he do?
00:09 When does he open up his sprint?
00:11 Because it looks like Frigo may get in contact.
00:13 There he is. He's only a couple of seconds.
00:15 If that behind now, well, what a finale.
00:17 This is going to be 600 meters to go.
00:20 And Frigo, Ned, just behind the motorbike, emerges.
00:23 And he's going to latch on to the back wheel of McNulty.
00:26 Can Frigo go past him?
00:28 Can he capitalize on the fact that they're looking at one another?
00:31 Out of the slipstream and into the front,
00:33 Marco Frigo, to the delight of the Italian crowd, hits them hard.
00:38 Ben Healy responding.
00:39 And now Brandon McNulty opening up his sprint too.
00:41 But he's got the jump on them.
00:43 Marco Frigo has a bike length to hold them off.
00:46 Healy closing. McNulty now coming with a rush.
00:49 Frigo still just about holding on.
00:51 McNulty though, breaks Frigo.
00:53 Healy still trying to respond.
00:55 McNulty takes it.
00:56 McNulty, a Grand Tour stage winner for the first time in his career.
01:00 A masterclass from Brandon McNulty.
01:03 He bangs the handlebars.
01:05 That was brilliant from UAE Team Emirates.
01:09 Brandon McNulty, a stellar performance from a strong rider.
01:13 The unbeatable Healy beaten.
01:16 And Marco Frigo very nearly upsetting them all.
01:20 What a win by Brandon McNulty.
01:23 Oh, that was an absolute thriller.
01:25 Frigo carried that momentum, opened up a gap.
01:29 And this man as well, he kept a cool head.
01:31 He could have easily panicked and shut the gap,
01:33 which would have meant that Healy had the advantage.
01:36 But he didn't. He forced Healy to close it and use that enormous engine of his
01:41 to take him clear, only in the dying meters.
01:44 A superb win.
01:46 A win of strength, but also, mind games.
01:49 Super intelligent riding there.
