Benjamin Thomas’ beautiful Giro ended prematurely on Tuesday, in the rain in northern Italy. After winning the 5th stage, the rider Cofidis also slipped into the breakaway during the 12th stage which smiled on Julian Alaphilippe. Sick for three days, he was forced to abandon on Tuesday from the first kilometers of a stage marked by violent bad weather. From the start, the difficult conditions led the riders to ask to postpone the start of the stage.
The Olympic Games in sight
Time is now at rest for the Tarnais, who will participate in the track cycling events during the Paris Olympic Games. The five-time world champion and bronze medalist at the Tokyo Olympics will be one of the favorites for the omnium and the American race.
