‘This Giro has been incredible for me’ – Afonso Eulálio celebrates after holding off Davide Piganzoli in Giro d’Italia white jersey battle

Afonso Eulálio‘s smile and bright white jersey on the podium at Piancavallo, and Davide Piganzoli‘s air of pride but also disappointment, said it all as the dust settled on the jersey classifications of the Giro d’Italia.

Visma-Lease a Bike had given the young Italian a free role for the stage, so he could try to distance Eulálio on the climb to Piancavallo and snatch the best young rider’s white jersey.
