He made it and was part of the final selection with Jack Haig (Netcompany Ineos) and Andreas Leknessund (Uno-X Mobility), but then the GC riders closed the gap, and Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) went on to win the stage.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Our Giro goal was to be top 10 and win a stage, and my goal was also to win a stage, so I really still wanted to give it a go,&#8221; Warbasse said of his stage 20 attack.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I knew it was a long shot, but I thought, why not?
