A clever Andrea Vendrame surprised a whole group this Friday, two days before the final finish of this Giro. The Italian rider from the Decathlon-AG2R team offers the French team its second victory in the Tour of Italy in the heights of Sappada. Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) and the peloton finished very far back, without worrying the Slovenian who remains well in the lead overall.
