Euskaraz irakurri: Benjamin Thomasek ihesaldiko besteak menderatu ditu, this stage irabazi du; Pogacarrek leader jarraitzen du

The French cyclist of the team Benjamin Thomas ha cattlethis Wednesday, the fifth stage of the 2024 Giro d’Italiain Luccaby surpassing in the last meters the other three runners with whom he completed the escape of the day and, in short, the victory of the day has been played. In parallel, in the general classification, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) continues as leaderon a day that has not brought significant changes among the top positions.

The way the stage was decided, with the breakaway men fighting for victory, was a surprise, because the forecast indicated that the fans would be able to witness the third sprint of the 107th edition of the Giro. The truth is that the four cyclists who took part in that breakaway were the best of the day, but not the first to try it; Geschke (Cofidis), Askey (Groupama), Bais (Polti Kometa) and Tarozzi (Bardiani) They escaped before them, but the peloton caught them on the descent of the Passo del Bracco, 3rd category.

At 63 kilometers from the finish line, Thomas, Valgren, Paleni and Pietrobon had a minute and a half lead, which was only half that, 45 seconds, with ten kilometers to go. They have known how to manage that income, and have been able to fight for a highly prestigious victory, which has made Thomas smile.
