A Giro d'Italia raced in miserable, autumnal conditions and with only the merest semblance of control is not for the faint-hearted, but Jai Hindley (Sunweb) gives the impression of a man relishing the experience.

At Tortoreto Lido two days ago, and again in Cesenatico on Thursday, the Australian was to the fore in a maglia rosa group that was reduced to just the leading lights long before the finish line. Twelve days into the Giro, he remains in 7th place overall, 1:19 down on pink jersey João Almeida (Deceuninck-QuickStep).
