He was the most anticipated on the finish line in Lago Laceno.
Domenico Pozzovivo did not disappoint his many fans.
After Paolo Tiralongo victory, one victory more by an athlete from the south Italy.
30 years old, rider of the Colnago-CSF, for Domenico Pozzovivo is the first victory at Giro d’ Italia after a strong showing at recent Giro del Trentino.
The sprint of Pozzovivo just when the big names were involved to control each other with Liquigas riders committed to keeping up the pace of the race.
Not enough to avert the decisive shot.
The overall ranking does not change. Ryder Hesjedal keeps the Maglia Rosa, with the contenders for the final victory that have not yet discovered their point.
Attention to an ever more perky Joaquim Rodriguez, who never loses the opportunity to put in safe precious seconds for the final classification.
