BARCELONA, 19 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Italian cyclist Stefano Oldani (Alpecin-Fenix) achieved victory in the twelfth stage of the Giro d’Italia, starting in Parma and finishing in Genoa after 204 kilometres, being the strongest in ‘the breakaway’ in a long day a fast march in which the main peloton reached more than 9 minutes, with the Spanish ‘Juanpe’ López (Trek-Segafredo) still leading.
In honor of the already famous phrase of the Movistar Team sports director Chente García Acosta (“the escape of the escape”), Stefano Oldani left together with Lorenzo Rota (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux) and Gijs Leemreize (Jumbo-Visma) from the good break of the day and, in the fight to three, he was the best to release his professional record.
Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain-Victorious), Wilco Kelderman (BORA-hansgrohe), Lucas Hamilton (BikeExchange) and Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) could not reach them, despite their attempts, and the peloton with the ‘pink jersey’ arrived at 9:07 to finish.
