Jai Hindley caps impressive opening week at Giro d'Italia, although Caleb Ewan still hunts for stage wins

Jai Hindley won the ninth stage of the Giro d'Italia. It was his second career Giret stage win. He is currently in fifth place, 20 seconds behind the overall leader Juan Pedro López Pérez. He's eight seconds adrift of João Almeida, six back from Romain Bardet and five behind Richard Carapaz. Caleb Ewan still hasn't won a stage. The race is nine stages old. There are seven mountainous stages on the program. Richie Porte and Jai's fellow Aussies set a great pace at the front of a group.

Jai Hindley won the first stage of the Giro d'Italia. Caleb Ewan is still looking for his first GIRO win. He crashed in the opening stage and missed out on stage six. Ewans is currently in ninth place in points competition, 105 points behind Arnaud Demare. He has not finished a Girette in four previous attempts. Mark Renshaw predicted that Ewen would not win a stage at this year's race if he didn't win one.
