sport">It marked the first victory this year in the Giro for Sagan, who benefited from strong teamwork from BORA-hansgrohe, which delivered him perfectly to the finish line.. In the last meters, no one came close to Sagan, who now also has the points jersey in his possession.
sport">The three-time world champion thus completed the work of his teammates from Bora-hansgrohe. Sagan’s teammates pushed hard on the only serious climb of the day. Many sprinters, including Dylan Groenewegen, David Dekker and Giacomo Nizzolo, had to release as a result. The Bora riders also took the five front runners, including Taco van der Hoorn, back at about 45 kilometers from the finish. Leader Sagan finished the job in the streets of Foligno by writing the tenth Giro stage to his name.
