Slipping Off the Front G18-20
Having followed the move off the front of a rider for Wilier Triestina-Selle Italia, it was Valerio Conti (UAE Team Emirates) who had the legs to press on with the effort. With just over eight kilometers to race, the Italian had built up a 25 second advantage, but those behind had teammates for support in the chase. As I was going back over the paintings from the early part of the stage, I discovered the Conti had been leading the move by UAE Team Emirates over a hundred kilometers earlier. Clearly, he has come to the Giro in great form.
