Dutchman Koen Bouwman (Jumbo-Visma) was expertly supported by team-mate Tom Dumoulin as he won a fascinating four-way battle at the conclusion of Stage 7 of the Giro d’Italia. The 2017 Giro champion fell out of general classification contention on Etna on Tuesday but was a key component of the day’s break before teeing up Bouwman for the win. The pair celebrated with abandon after the race.
Tom Dumoulin (Jumbo-Visma) was involved in a very close call with his own team car on Stage 7 of the Giro d’Italia. Robbie McEwen had earlier described it as a “day from hell" for non-climbers, while fellow Eurosport expert Sean Kelly suggested the race could «lose some riders» due to the punishing climbs.
Stage 7 of the Giro d’Italia has been described as a “free-for-all” and a «day from hell» for non-climbers by Robbie McEwen, while Sean Kelly said its nature could see the race lose some riders. The stage contained four bruising climbs, one Cat. 1, two Cat.
It may be downplayed as a ‘hilly’ stage in the road manual but make no mistake: Stage 7 will be brutal. The Giro d’Italia journeys from Diamante to Potenza via four categorised climbs, with nearly 4500m of elevation awaiting the peloton. It’s no wonder that Eurosport expert Adam Blythe has dubbed Friday’s stage as “one of the hardest” of this year’s race.
Fernando Gaviria (UAE Team Emirates) was relegated to the back of the bunch after almost causing a high-speed crash on Stage 6 at the Giro d’Italia – with the Colombian's sprint branded “dangerous” and “terrible” on The Breakaway. Gaviria was trying to haul himself back into contention when he went shoulder-to-shoulder with Cees Bol (Team DSM) in a bid to steal the back wheel of Bol’s team-mate Alberto Dainese in the closing metres. Ad/> With Arnaud Demare (Groupama–FDJ), Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal) and Mark Cavendish (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) hugging the left of the finish straight in their respective packs, DSM launched a counter move down the right.
After flirting with Hungary and Sicily, we're finally on the Italian mainland as Stage 6 arrives on Thursday. While the final Sicilian stage was billed as 'flat' in the race manual, this outing is even flatter. There is a teasing Cat.
Stage 5 is billed as 'flat' in the race manual, but a quick glance at the route profile proves that is a loose definition of the word. A steady ride from Catania to Messina is punctuated by a Cat. 2 whopper up Portella Mandrazzi, with Juan Pedro Lopez (Trek-Segafredo) hoping for a serene first day in pink after wrestling the leader's jersey of Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) on Mount Etna.
Lennard Kamna hinted he had a “silent agreement” with Juan Pedro Lopez ahead of the sprint finish atop Mount Etna at the Giro d’Italia – but The Breakaway gang suggest that the deal never really existed. The German (Bora-Hansgrohe) bridged the gap to lone frontman Lopez (Trek–Segafredo) with 2.5km remaining of Stage 4 before the pair were pictured in conversation. Ad/> Kamna was soon celebrating winning the two-up sprint while his rival soared into pink, with the 25-year-old revealing an unspoken pact between the pair.
