Giro stage 12: Dean & Sutton in top 20 on stage

Today’s flat stage 12 saw one long solo breakaway that got caught with 10 km to go and a mass sprint finish. Julian Dean (right) and Chris Sutton worked their way into the final fray and finished 13th and 17th respectively. There were no major changes in the overall.

Tomorrow’s stage 13 is the last flat stage before the race hits the mountains and things get real.
