Accelerate.
Egan Bernal
in the lead and everyone trembles.
The stiff ears in the first quality test for the favorites of the Giro d'Italia in a tremendous final with ramps of 14% of unevenness and a hellish stretch of 1,600 meters of 'sterrato', that irregular firm of earth that punishes the kidneys of some gladiators who thrive on difficulty.
There, where power and class is decisive.
The Colombian, in a kilometer of top-level cycling, climbing in a rough setting, destroyed the peloton and delivered the first big power blow in the Italian round. Victory and lead for the 2019 Tour de France winner Evenepoel, the young Belgian talent, held out, but showed some signs of weakness, losing nine seconds.
Marc Soler
finished among the best and gained confidence for the immediate future.
In the vicinity of Campo Felipe, after a rough crossing in the Abruzzo area, the platoon rode with the binoculars in the direction of the group of escapees, among which
Bouchard
,
Bowman
,
Edet
,
Guerreiro
,
Fabbro
,
Carr
,
Bennett
,
stood out.
Storer
and
Mollema
, who abandoned their escape companions on the ascent to Ovindoli, the stop prior to the last summit of the stage. Bouchard was the one who tried it until the end, on the last ramps of Campo Felice. There were encouraging banners for
Giulio Ciccone
, the idol of the region that always appears when the road gets steep. When the obstacles rise, Benal does not hide, who ordered his herds to increase the rate of hunting.
In that fight between the escapees and the large group for the stage victory,
Attila Valter's
Groupama
, the bearer of the pink jersey, delegated responsibilities to Ineos and Movistar. Extra work for
Castroviejo
,
Narváez
,
Moscon
,
Cataldo
and
Villella
. One minute's rent for escapees with four kilometers to go. The adventurers' revenue was canceled with 800 meters to go, when Bernal, followed by Ciccone, observed Evenepoel in the intermediate positions of the group and launched himself for the stage victory. He surpassed the escapees and appeared at the goal with nine seconds over Ciccone and
Vlasov
.
Valter reached 48 seconds and lost the pink jersey in favor of Bernal, who already threatens to wear that garment until the end of Milan.
