Winner turned provider on Thursday as the man we usually associate with standing atop the podium rolled home eight minutes down but all smiles after his team-mate Stefano Oldani took his first ever professional win in the streets of Genova. Mathieu van der Poel came home alongside team-mate Oscar Riesebeek and both were quick to congratulate the winning piece of their Alpecin-Fenix jigsaw after Oldani outfoxed Lorenzo Rota and Gijs Leemreize on the ramped finale to secure the team’s second win of the Giro.
