Tao Geoghegan Hart and Jai Hindley set up the closest finish in the 111-year history of the Giro d’Italia by dropping their GC rivals before going head-to-head for the victory on Stage 20.

It was Geoghegan Hart (INEOS Grenadiers) who out-sprinted Hindley (Team Sunweb) at the line to wrap up his second stage win of this year’s race, and in doing so it meant the two riders are now tied on time at the top of the overall standings heading into Sunday’s concluding 15.7km time trial.

The duo shed their rivals on the second of three ascents up to Sestriere, with Geoghegan Hart’s team-mate Rohan Dennis playing a pivotal role before dropping off the pace in the last 2km.

Hindley couldn’t drop Geoghegan Hart however, and the INEOS Grenadiers rider proved the fastest finisher at the line to set up an unprecedented finale. Dennis meanwhile, held on for third place on the stage.

Wilco Kelderman (Team Sunweb) had begun the day in the pink jersey, but he dropped to third place overall, 1min 32sec back, after finishing the stage in eighth place. Pello Bilbao (Bahrain McLaren) now sits 2min 51sec down in fourth place overall, with Joao Almeida (Deceuninck – Quick-Step) 23 seconds further behind him in fifth.

Here are some of the standout efforts from the day’s action:
