The “Valle dei Templi” di Agrigento, one of the most scenic and impressive places of Sicily, is the natural theatre of the Giro D’Italia arrival.

Same arrival as 1994 World Championship where Luc LeBlanc won on Claudio Chiappucci both at the highest level of their career

Stage 2

The Giro invites Sagan designing stages just for him and Sagan shows up in Agrigento as expected.

Unfortunately for him, diego ULISSI takes his 7th Giro stage victory by leading the sprint in the last km

Peter SAGAN is second and Mikkel FRøLICH HONORE’ is third

In the back, Alexander VLASOV, one of pre race favourites abandons due to stomach ache.

Curiosity

Filippo GANNA in pink is the Grand Grand Nephew of Luigi GANNA winner of the first Giro in 1909

The Fantasy Giro

The Legend of Fantasy Giro Strikes back: Rene van Noort’s CARPE DIEM II wins the stage and takes the lone leadership on stage 2

The podium is rounded by two rookies: Einypw’s Team Pie and Ken Narangoda’s Trisome

All three top teams had Alexander VLASOV in their teams and lose one important team member very soon in the game. This gives an opportunity to the others to catch up
