It is increasingly the Giro Next Gen for teenagers. After Jarno Widar at Pian della Mussa he was once again a rider born in 2005, also part of the Lotto Dstny Development Team, who triumphed at the finish line in Cremona. Steffen De Schuyteneer took his first career success on Italian roads by prevailing in a sprint over Tim Torn Teutenberg, who like yesterday had to settle for an honorable placing, and over the Italian Lorenzo Conforti, who took his second podium in this edition. However, there was nothing to be done for the Maglia Rossa Paul Magnier, who finished in sixth place. There are no changes in the general classification where Jarno Widar leads with 34″ over Mathys Rondel and 47″ over Pablo Torres on the eve of the big stage in Fosse, with 3200 meters of altitude difference and an all-up finish.
The stage winner Steffen De Schuyteneer declared in a press conference: “It’s a great day for the team, we achieved a second stage success and at the same time we are still in the Maglia Rosa with Jarno Widar. The last 10 km were like playing Tetris, we knew how to fit all the pieces together well and I was able to celebrate at the finish line. Yesterday I worked for Grisel, today we switched and the result was excellent.”
The Pink Jersey Jarno Widar he said: “I’ve been racing with Steffen for five years, I know him well and I knew he could beat Magnier in the sprint. Tomorrow I’ll try again, I think attack is the best defense. I want to win again but I will need to be at my best to do it.”
