Cycling: Geoghegan Hart gives Ineos late shot at Giro glory

LONDON: Tao Geoghegan Hart thrust himself into contention to become Britain's latest Grand Tour winner with a superb ride on a dramatic 18th stage at the Giro d'Italia on Thursday .

More importantly, after starting the Queen's stage almost three minutes behind now-deposed leader Joao Almeida, he is now third overall, a mere 15 seconds off Dutch leader Wilco Kelderman and three seconds behind Hindley. With Chris Froome struggling badly on the Vuelta after only two stages, Ineos Grenadiers have consoled themselves with five stage wins at the Giro, including one for Geoghegan Hart on Sunday, his first in a Grand Tour.But the story might get even better for Geoghegan Hart who looked powerful on the Stelvio and then again on the day's final climb, the 9km Torri di Fraele, as Hindley sat on his wheel.

Geoghegan Hart benefited from a superhuman effort by Australian time trial specialist Rohan Dennis who set a relentless pace up the Stelvio and reached the summit first.
