168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sacha Modolo can smile about it now but at the time it was terrible. Twenty-four hours before his second sprint win in Lugano, the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lampre-Merida man endured the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:most arduous day of his 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia to date, as he and a doughty band of sprinters battled the mighty Mo🍒rtirolo and the time limit just to stay in the race.

"Me? I was cursing all day long," Modolo quipped when asked h🌳ow he had made it through Tuesday's tappone. Cruelly, the peloton had to climb the Campo Carlo Magno as soon as the flag was dropped in Pinzolo. As he had anticipated, Modolo 🐭was quickly jettisoned out the back.

"I knew that stage would be tough for me," he continued. "I lasted about the first 1,500 metres in the peloton before I was dropped and soon after that a gruppetto formed. We were worried about the time limit and we went very hard – harder than we needed to as it turned out, since the limit ended up being around 38 minutes. I could still feel the effects today, and it was hard to get going on the first climb."
