A day of undeniable leadership and good results for the EOLO KOMETA in O Gran Camiño. On the break from Mattia Bais, ahead for more than 140 kilometres, a well-timed move from Gavazzi was added to score points up the mountain at Cruz da Portela.
The entire block took Fortunato protected and perfectly positioned, who entered the final ascent to Monte Trega in leading positions. He measured himself against the great climbers, while Vingegaard (Jumbo Visma) got the win and lead. Our Fortunato finished seventh, the same place overall, and has great options for the remaining two days.
Lorenzo Fortunato: «In the final climb we were in front, my teammates placed me and accompanied me at the key moments of the stage. The truth is that I paid for it a bit in the final part but we have achieved a good result and we will try to improve it tomorrow”.
Jesús Hernández: «I am very satisfied with the overall level. Presence on the run, from behind running together and protecting Fortunato. Each sacrificed themselves on the spot. Fortu arrived on foot from the last port with all the chances of doing well and seventh is a good place, also to give confidence for tomorrow in a finish that suits him much better. Everyone’s attitude and commitment is to be valued.”
