May 14, 2021 The seventh stage of the Giro d'Italia, Notaresco-Termoli of 181 kilometers, mostly flat apart from the final stretch 1.5km from the finish, does not shake the race and ends with a predictable sprint: to win, at the finish line from the town of Molise, it is the Australian Caleb Ewan (new great show of strength) who repeats the success of Wednesday in Cattolica by burning Davide Cimolai and the Belgian Tim Merlier. Three other Italians in the top ten: 4th Matteo Moschetti, 5th Andrea Pasqualon, 9th Filippo Fiorelli. Disappointment for Fernando Gaviria, sixth, who tried in vain to anticipate the sprint.
All unchanged in the general classification, with the Hungarian Attila Valter who remains in the pink jersey with 11 ”ahead of Remco Evenepoel and 16” over the great favorite Egan Bernal.
Day marked by the initial (after 1km) and long escape of Simon Pellaud, Mark Christian and the Piedmontese Umberto Marengo (first in the two flying goals), which the group lets go and ends at -17 from the banner. However, the action of the three was beautiful.
Tomorrow challenging eighth stage, from Foggia to Guardia Sanframondi (170km), in the province of Benevento: it will be the third uphill finish of the race. Something could happen.
