​Belgian Alec Segaert ​stole a ‌march to ​win stage 12 of the Giro d'Italia on ‌Thursday, and his Bahrain Victorious teammate Afonso Eulalio snatched bonus seconds in the intermediate ‌sprint to extend his overall lead. The ‌175-km ride from Imperia to Novi Ligure looked to be headed for a sprint finish before ⁠Segaert ​made ⁠his telling move 3 km from the line ⁠and held off the chasing pack to ​take the win on his Giro debut.

Fellow-Belgian ⁠Toon Aerts (Lotto-Intermarche) won the dash for second ahead ⁠of ​one-time race leader Guillermo Thomas Silva (XDS Astana Team). Portugal's Eulalio put an ⁠extra six seconds between himself and favourite Jonas ⁠Vingegaard, ⁠with the Dane now 33 seconds off the pink jersey.
