Tour of Italy
The Frenchman Valentin Paret-Peintre celebrated his first victory as a professional cyclist on the summit of the Bocca della Selva. The 23-year-old teammate of Felix Gall in the Decathlon-AG2R team won the tenth stage of the Giro d’Italia from Pompeii over 142 kilometers to Cusano Mutri solo on Tuesday. The Slovenian favorite Tadej Pogacar easily defended the pink jersey of the overall leader.

Paret-Peintre pulled away from a larger breakaway group. The mountain specialist initially teamed up with compatriot Romain Bardet on the 17.9 km final climb before launching the decisive attack three kilometers from the finish and relegating the overall runner-up in the 2016 Tour de France to second place with a lead of 29 seconds. One of his first congratulators at the finish was his older brother and teammate Aurelien Paret-Peintre, who finished fifth on the day.
Pogacar, the winner of the first two mountain finishes of this Tour of Italy, took it easy after the rest day and reached the finish with his rivals over three minutes behind the winner. In the overall standings, Pogacar continues to lead 2:40 minutes ahead of Colombian Daniel Felipe Martinez and 2:58 minutes ahead of Welshman Geraint Thomas. The first Austrian to cross the finish line was Felix Großschartner in 38th place, 6:48 minutes behind.

Change of the queen stage
The eleventh stage on Wednesday over 207 km from Foiano di Val Fortore to the Adriatic coast to Francavilla al Mare should again be something for the sprinters. The queen stage next Tuesday cannot be skied as originally planned due to the risk of avalanches.
As the organizer RCS announced, the Stelvio Pass (Stelvio Pass), at 2,758 m above sea level the actual roof of the tour, has to be painted after the recent snowfall. The 16th stage instead leads over the Umbrail Pass, which is a good 250 meters lower. The finish is after a final climb to Santa Cristina after 206 km instead of the originally planned 202 km.
