Friday File: Pellizzari tops the Alps

 


Giulio Pellizzari has won the final stage of the Tour of the Alps. The Italian rider rode clear of his rivals and finished solo in Bolzano - with the overall classification in the process. Egan Bernal rode to second overall, Michael Storer third, and Thymen Arensman fourth. With the Giro d’ltalia around the corner, Pellizzari has a dominate solo win and the overall victory in the Alps - he steps into contender role for the Giro!

“For me, it’s crazy. The last climb I knew I had to go full, not for me but the team, because they did an amazing job all week, and they deserve this more than me. I had to say it was pretty hard, and super hot, but I had to do it for team. It’s crazy to be here. I don’t want to say I won the Tour of the Alps, but that Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe won the Tour of the Alps.”

-Giulio Pellizzari
