Entente cordiale before the two days with a high finish and success for the breakaway of the breakaway

58º Giro Ciclístico della Valle d´Aosta
Staga 3: Aosta – Aosta ( 138,8 km)

The breakaway was at its best again in Valle d’Aosta, a third day of the Giro Ciclistico in which Alex Baudin (Tudor Pro Cycling) won alone, making good that of ‘the breakaway of the breakaway’. Five riders led for most of the day, five riders who used their strength in the last climbs, real traps, before the finish in Aosta. The main peloton, the leader’s group, with the EOLO-KOMETA Cycling Team U23 riders protecting Fernando Tercero, finished the day just over two minutes behind.

In this group of the illustrious riders, the FDJ of the yellow jersey Lenny Martinez set the pace for most of the day. In the last 25 kilometres, the pace accelerated dramatically and the main group lost some riders. Davide Piganzoli, David Domínguez and Fernando Tercero were among the thirty or so riders. Another day, in short, to manage the risks, to keep the maximum attention and to save the maximum strength.

The two decisive stages in the race ‘where legends are born’ have arrived. This Saturday, to begin with, in Pian Coumarial. And after a very long day, more than 170 kilometres, with another five climbs on the menu. On Sunday, in Cervinia. The general classification is sure to undergo changes. Frenchman Lenny Martinez is still in the lead, with Fernando Tercero 2’35” behind.
