Alexey Lutsenko in control, for now.
Teenager Jan Christen (19-years-old UAE) took his first professional victory and moves into the leader's jersey on stage 2 of the Giro d'Abruzzo. His UAE Team Emirates controlled the stage and Christen attacked on the final climb to hold off favorite, Alexey Lutsenko.
"It was my goal to win a pro race and I'm delighted I did today, before I turn 20. We set up a good pace from the bottom of the last climb. Then it was my turn to attack but Lutsenko rode behind. With 2 kilometres to go, I realised I was going to win. Tomorrow we'll go with Adam Yates for the GC and I will give my best for him to win Il Giro d'Abruzzo overall."
-Jan Christen
