FIRST GT PODIUM FOR PRIMOZ ROGLIC

ANOTHER WHITE JERSEY FOR MIGUEL ANGEL LOPEZ

The Astana leader Miguel Angel Lopez for the second time in a row won the title of the best young rider of the Italian Grand tour, wearing the white jersey on the podium in Verona. In the final general classification of the race Lopez took a solid 7th place. A great edition for Astana Pro Team, with three wins by Dario Cataldo and the Basque climber Pello Bilbao, king of the Queen stage on Monte Avena. 

AN HISTORICAL WIN FOR DAMIANO CIMA

An unforgettable edition for team Nippo-Fantini too. The Italian rider Damiano Cima took the first historical win of his team at Giro d’Italia, after 172 km of breakaway. A victory achieved with grit, determination, but also a lot of lucidity in the final meters despite the fatigue.
EF Education First and Israel Cycling Academy have been protagonist too with many and many kms of breakaway collected to the attack. Actions that have guarantee to the FSA brand a great media visibility and many hours of national and international television broadcasts.
