Giro d’Italia 2023: Aleksandr Vlasov latest big name to abandon as illness sweeps through peloton
Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-hansgrohe) has become the latest rider to abandon the Giro d’Italia after suffering with illness on Stage 10. The Russian, 27, was sixth in the general classification, 1’03” adrift of Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) in the maglia rosa. It means Lennard Kamna, who started the day eighth in GC at 1’52”, will step into leadership duties for Bora.
