Narration This is how we live the stage
Classifications The general
Peter Sagan
won the tenth stage of the Giro d'Italia on Monday, disputed between L'Aquila and Foligno over 139 kilometers, in a short and smooth day in which a great previous work of the BORA-Hansgrohe his team culminated with a spectacular sprint. The Slovak, in his first victory in this Giro -second in total in the 'corsa rosa' after winning the tenth stage of 2020- and third of the year, beat
Fernando Gaviria
and
Davide Cimolai
in an ideal final for the three-time champion of the world.
Although the BORA-Hansgrohe train was overtaken by the strength of
Juan Sebastián Molano
, Fernando Gaviria's launcher in UAE-Team Emirates, Sagan did not let the Colombian sprinter, who had his wheel, pass him and with a brilliant and legal change of trajectory made Gaviria wear out early.
Thus, Sagan crossed the finish line first with the same authority with which the BORA-Hansgrohe had previously eliminated three rivals for this sprint such as
Tim Merlier
,
Dylan Groenewegen
or
Giacomo Nizzolo
, in the port of Valico della Somma (4th ).
Round day for the German team and for Sagan, who already has 117 professional victories.
Thinking about the fight for the general, which is still led by
Egan Bernal
, the stage left a beautiful scene when
Remco Evenepoel
sprinted and came back to earn 2 seconds, by 1 of Bernal, in the intermediate sprint of Campello sul Clitunno.
The Belgian, the leader of the Deceuninck pack, saw that
Filippo Ganna
took Egan Bernal to his wheel and shelter to try to win, and went to get them.
But, when it seemed that Evenepoel was going to add 3 bonus seconds, another teammate of Bernal, the Ecuadorian
Jhonatan Narváez
, pushed to overcome him.
Battle for every second.
Stopped at a level crossing
Another unexpected 'moment' was the one that experienced a leak, formed by five cyclists, which was hunted 43 kilometers from Foligno.
Before, 88 of the finish line, they had to stop their march for almost a minute due to the priority of a train at a level crossing.
A full-blown setback.
This Tuesday comes the first day of rest in this Giro.
On Wednesday, however, it was a very tough stage with about 35 kilometers of 'sterrato', many on the rise, and the last of the two 3rd-class passes completed 4 kilometers from the finish line.
And, if it rains, it will be a quagmire.
