Joey Rosskopf had been the top American in two stages so far in the Giro d’Italia but neither of them had been nearly as impressive as his 40th place finish in stage 11. Rosskopf finished 1:49 back in a medium-mountain stage that saw many riders over 5 minutes back. He was the only American in the top 100 on Wednesday. Nathan Brown continues to be the top American, now 50th place 38:56 back. Joe Dombrowski is 53rd with Chad Haga rounding out the three Americans in the top 100 as he is currently 99th.

Thursday will be the first flat stage since stage three, only 113 miles as well.
