BARCELONA, 17 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Eritrean cyclist Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux) was done this Tuesday with the tenth stage of the Giro de Italy, disputed between Pescara and Jesi over 196 kilometers, in a bestial hand-to-hand with Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix). ), on a day in which the Spaniard ‘Juanpe’ López (Trek-Segafredo) took the ‘pink maglia’ of leader.

Girmay attacked from afar, Van der Poel went behind and tried to come back, but he reached the Eritrean’s handlebars, saw that he couldn’t and stopped his sprint, thumbs up congratulating the ‘pride of Africa’, who is making his debut in the Giro and in a big one with a prestigious victory.

And it is that both, Girmay and the ‘extraterrestrial’ Van der Poel, took advantage of the rest of the members of a small group of favorites who arrived at Jesi after a demanding day, especially in a second part of the stage full of ‘ups and low’ with a frenetic pace and speed.
