Stage 14 of the Giro d'Italia saw Simon Yates from Visma-Lease a Bike capitalize on a crash that affected many riders. He finished in a group 48 seconds ahead of key GC contenders, moving to second overall. Yates' team aimed to win the stage with Olav Kooij, maintaining their strategy despite the crash. Leaders like Isaac del Toro acknowledged the chaotic circumstances, indicating a shared sense of sportsmanship rather than celebrating the opportunistic gains made from others' misfortunes.
It was quite obvious that we were here to try and win the stage with Olav. We fought for it the whole day, we took control of the breakaway.
Many of the riders who took time in the group, including Del Toro, were clear that they didn't revel in gaining an advantage like that.
