The breakaway goes and reaches Rivoli just before the mountain stage (the only of week 2).

DENZ Nico wins on SKUJIŅŠ Toms and BERWICK Sebastian

the breakaway was big and the riders were spread all over the place with the big group arriving at more that 3 minutes

Fantagiro contest

The MONKEY wins the stage with a mirable 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed. This is the first time that the Monkey wins a stage.

This shakes the Battle for the Black Jersey where The Monkey overtakes Beatrice Andreola’s BEAT THE MONKEY who has one very clear objective.

The Black Jersey is one of our challenges and Beatrice seems to have this on hand…. but the Monkey is there

Almost all the other teams scores 0 points, with a few notable exceptions:

The Monkey The Pink Monkey – 61 points
Vincenzo Capuana CAP 90013 – 25 points- well done Vincenzo, as a rookie you made a second pace in a stage, now aim for a first
