The ‘Corsa rosa’ faces its first day of rest after nine stages without respite for the runners, since Venaria Reale gave the starting signal last Saturday, May 4.
After this day to regain strength, The peloton will face a tenth stage of 142 kilometers between Pompei and Cusano Mutriwith two passes along its route, and ending in Bocca della Selva, a long (17.9 kilometers) but steep climb, with an average slope of just 5.6 percent.
The runners resume the race after a first full week in which Tadej Pogacar showed his potential with a lead of 2.40 minutes about the Colombian Daniel Felipe Martínez (Bora) and 2.58 compared to the Welsh Geraint Thomas (Ineos), the occupants of the secondary places on the podium.
Pogacar’s superiority in his debut in the pink race, with the Giro-Tour double in mind, has unleashed debates about the boredom of his way of “playing” with rivals and the comparison with the legendary Belgian “Cannibal” Eddy Merckx .
