The UCI has condemned teams who used helicopters to airlift their riders off the mountain after Stage 7’s summit finish at the Giro d’Italia on Friday, saying it «goes against the principles of fair play». With the bus convoy parked 26km down the snowy Gran Sasso, some teams flew their riders direct from the mountaintop to their hotels to cut transfer time ahead of a bumper weekend.
Italian rider Filippo Ganna of Ineos Grenadiers is out of the Giro d'Italia after testing positive for COVID-19 ahead of stage eight, his team announced on Saturday.
Filippo Ganna has abandoned the Giro d’Italia after testing positive for Covid-19, his team Ineos Grenadiers said in a statement. “Filippo Ganna will regrettably not line up to contest today’s Stage 8 of the 2023 Giro d’Italia, after testing positive for Covid-19 and displaying mild, flu-like symptoms,” said Ineos in a statement.
GRAN SASSO D'ITALIA, Italy: With snow piled high on the roadsides, Italian outsider Davide Bais won stage seven of the Giro d’Italia from a breakaway on the highest peak in the Apennines on Friday.
Unless you’re a close friend of Davide Bias (EOLO-Kometa), or the man himself, you’ve probably already forgotten about the snoozefest on Stage 7 at the Giro d’Italia. The GC big-hitters rode to the first summit finish together as strong headwinds discouraged attacks, although Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) dropped a last-gasp dig to suggest he is unhurt from his double crash on Stage 5. Ad Will Stage 8 be more exciting? With a 30.7km individual time trial to come on Sunday, the likes of Evenepoel, Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) and Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) are likely to keep their powder dry, but we should get plenty of action from the stage hunters in the finale.
After many fruitless days in the breakaway, Davide Bais (EOLO-Kometa) finally got his reward on the big stage with a shock win at the Giro d’Italia on Friday. Bais slogged it out in a three-strong breakaway along with Karel Vacek (Corratec-Selle Italia) and Simone Petilli (Intermarche-Circus-Wanty), no doubt expecting to hear the familiar sound of the peloton closing in.
On a day everyone expected fireworks in the fight for pink, it was left to an unlikely threesome and a 25-year-old Italian to steal the limelight on the snow-capped Gran Sasso. Davide Bais (Eolo-Kometa) got the better of compatriot Simone Petilli (Intermarche-Circus-Wanty) and Czech tyro Karel Vacek (Team Corratec-Selle Italia) to take the first – and biggest – win of his career, denying his companions maiden career wins in the process.
Ireland's Eddie Dunbar finished ninth on a gruelling seventh stage at the Giro d'Italia on Friday.
