The first win of the season for Damiano Cunego in the 2nd stage of the Giro del Trentino comes as a liberation. An interlocutory stage of 152 km from Mori to S. Orsola Terme.
Excellent work by the Lampre-Isd.
In the final climb (last 9 km) Niemiec and Marzano (Cunego’s teammate) drove the decisive forcing to reduce the group to 9 units.
Michele Scarponi drove a great long final for Cunego’s sprint, who anticipates Betancur and Kreuziger.
These are Damiano Cunego’s words entrusted by Facebook after the arrive: “Great first win of the season! Great Team Lampre! And thanks to all of you who support me”
Now it’s time for a well-deserved rest but tomorrow Poison Peak (Punta Veleno in italian) illuminates the challenge!
