Rigoberto Uran (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) won the stage 12 time trial at the Giro d’Italia on Thursday and climbed into the race lead.

Cadel Evans (BMC Racing), who entered the day with a 57-second advantage over Uran in the GC, lost time throughout the course and now sits second overall at 37 seconds back. Rafal Majka (Tinkoff-Saxo) remains in third, 1:52 behind Uran.

Uran scorched the course, finishing in 57:34 — 1:17 faster than Diego Ulissi (Lampre-Merida), who held the previous best time and seemed poised to win the stage. Evans crossed the line 1:34 behind Uran.
