Until the height of the day, the day was heavily fought and talked about, and as expected it was marked by a breakaway that reached the peloton’s liking. Lawrence Naesen, Matthia Bais and Alessandro de MarchI rode in front of a stage until de Marchi was neutralized 21 kilometers from the finish line, on a day with two parts well differentiated: the first 100 kilometers completely flat running along the adriatic coast, before dealing with continued ups and downs with three fourth climb categories spread over the last 86 kilometers.

It’s been a tiring day for Juan Pedro Lopez and his team, in their aim to keep the pink jersey, because of the speed they rode and because of the many attacks that took place, especially in the last kilometers. They moved Covi, Nibali, Yates or Nielsen among others, although two were the teams that worked the most, Intermarket Y Alpecin. The first thought to Girmay and the second to Van der Poel. As in earlier stages, Girmay marked the man in a Van der Poel who tried again until exhausted, but when he saw that his company was impossible, he did not pursue his deadly attack 4.8 kilometers away and was placed in finish line on the Eritrean wheel.

The luck of the stage was with them, in a sprint of pure force, one of the twins broken, one whose legs were burning and weighing down to the lash. For a moment it seemed Van der Poel R.He rode Girmay, but Mathieu eventually gave up and limited himself to cheering on his rival, who had already made history in March by becoming the first black African to win the Ghent-Wevelgem of Belgium and now he did the same at the Giro d’Italia, being Alan van Heerden the first African to achieve success in ‘Pink Corsa’. It was in 1979.
