Afonso Eulálio and Bahrain Victorious had expected their time in the Giro d’Italia maglia rosa to end in Massa after the 42km time trial, but just as the Portuguese rider has done for the last week, his fight for pink continues.
Eulálio lost 1:57 to Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike), but the Dane also suffered during the long, straight and fast time trial on stage 10 and failed to take pink by 27 seconds.
Eulálio pulled on the maglia rosa yet again and will wear it during Wednesday’s hilly stage from Porcari near Lucca to Chiavari on the Ligurian coast. His fight goes on, at least for another day, but possibly until Saturday’s high mountain stage to Pila in the Val d’Aosta.
“What I’m living now, what I’m living with this jersey, is beautiful. I just keep going for the GC. We just keep fighting,” Eulálio said with pride.
Eulálio now understands the aura and power of the maglia rosa.
