Juan Ayuso won the seventh stage of the Giro d'Italia, from Castel di Sangro to Tagliacozzo (Marsia), 168 km.

First uphill finish of the pink race and it's the men in the general classification who are playing for the win. The last stretch is decisive, the hardest: Ayuso makes the difference with a single sprint while Primoz Roglic doesn't respond.

The Spaniard arrives only a few seconds ahead of his teammate Isaac Del Toro and Egan Bernal of Ineos. Roglic pays only 4 seconds but wears the pink jersey.
