Like ice when I went out of the car I almost fell

When the race in Italy turns near Naples, problems are promised as a rule. Roads in the south of Italy are not accustomed to rain, but the raindrops of Giro are often accompanied in the vicinity of the largest city in the south of the country, where the asphalt turns into a real rink.

It was no different yesterday when 70 km ahead of the destination on slippery roads occurred, after which, by which, probably due to a concussion, the assistant resigned Primož Roglič Jai Hindley. « As soon as you touched the brakes, it was over, you landed on the floor, » one of the cyclists described.

Due to the fall, the stage interruption occurred Mauro Vegni He negotiated with cyclists with assistants, including Roglic, and they reached an agreement that in the stage would only be racing for a stage victory, but not in the total. “The roads in the south are really dangerous when the rain falls, the asphalt looks good, but does not absorb moisture well. When I stepped out of the car, I almost fell, the base was like ice. Therefore, we did not persuade the riders to continue racing, we had a correct debate and together we decided to neutralize, « the director assured.

Vegni with the first days of Gira cannot be the most satisfied, he complained about the inactivity of cyclists, but today it will be completely different when it is time for Gir The first stage with the goal of the climb.
