With a frenetic finale that involved several crashes and attacks on the technical run in, Fell🍸ine explained that after hard work from the team, the plan was almost deraiꦰled.
"Everything was perfect until the last two to three kilometers when Gilb🔯ert and Clarke attacked," said Felline. "In the last 5🧸00 meters I was blocked, I was on the right as Gilbert came backward and lost some positions, but maybe if I were on the left I would be in the crash, and it could have been bad for me."
Despite the obstacle, Felline was a💝ble to open up his sprint and add to his second place finishes from the 2012, 2013, and 2015 Giro d'Italia's
"Meersman was strong. For me, if we had started the sprint together we would have had a good tête-à-tête, but since I started the sprint 350 meters behind, it was impossible to pass him," Felline said. "But a big thank you to th🤪e team becaus⛎e every day they work so hard to arrive to the sprint."
Felline 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:brokeཧ his nose and fractured his skull in the neutral zone at Amstel Gold Race, making his comeback to racing at the Italian nationals. He rode just one stage race prior to the Vuelta, the Tour de Pologne where he finished second overall. Having shown his form on stage 5, Felline added 🌱"we will see the next day" for a win.

"The plan was to help Niccolo again for the sprint, but during the race there was a lot of bad weather, and the final had a few uphills, so we kept Fabio fresh in case Niccolo did not have the legs to pass🍎 over the last bump," Demol said. "But Niccolo had said already before, with 50kms to go, that he did not feel so good. So then we decided to go for Fabio.
"Riccardo (Zoidl) had a crash, but he finished and I hope it is not too bad. But in general the team did well, and we didn't have to make huge efforts. It's just a pity that we missed it by one place, but to be h🅘🌺onest, I am satisfied with that."
