To tail is all bull. And more in the Giro d'Italia with many alternatives as being this. And if not just ask Matteo Trentin, who has given a lesson in cunning in the longest stage of this Giro, the eighteenth, finishing in Pinerolo. The Italian surprised his team mate Brambilla and Moser, who marched escaped and managed to overcome the absence of one hundred meters to the finish line. Duo doubt head allowed him to show all its power and even celebrate the victory a few meters from the finish.
The battle between Brambilla and Moser, two runners of different generations, had been exciting. They fought to exhaustion cycling these two gladiators, who managed to leave their breakaway companions in the only port to try to gamble the stage victory. But when they had everything to win, Trentin made useless their enormous effort and lug them a victory they believed in his hand.
The longest stage of the Giro (244 km) was suitable for getaways. A flat day with a second-class port 20 kilometers from the finish that could also be a place where general are proven again. A very large leak with 24 runners from 15 different teams managed to open a gap of thirteen minutes. Hostilities not arrive until the only mountain pass of the day.
In the large group of cyclists, nobody attacked Kruijswijt, the overall leader, to a significant slope just two kilometers from the finish. It was Alejandro Valverde, but without much faith, which proved it shows that still thinking about the final victory. Friday will have a new opportunity to climb to the roof of the Giro, the dreaded Colle dell'Agenello.
