Uruguayancyclist Guillermo Thomas Silva (Astana) has won the second stageof the Giro de Italia Italia that has competed in Bulgaria with an unexpected arrival in a tight sprint and has also worn pink maglia .
TheGerman Florian Stork (Tudor) andthe Italian Giulio Ciccone 0 were second and third respectively.
The second stage has started in Burgas and ended in Veliko Tarnovo, and cyclists have had to travel 221 kilometers .
As on the first day, there has also been a heavy fall in the second, with consequences: six runners have had to leave the race; and UAE leader Adam Yates has run out of options to contest the Giro.
Diego Pablo Sevilla and Mirco Maestri Polti have completed the day's getaway. The Spanish cyclist was also on the day's getaway yesterday and leads the mountain classification.
They attacked just after the start of the stage. They got six minutes ahead , but little by little the platoon ate their space and caught them both within 27 kilometers of the finish line.
Seville and Maestri have done a tremendous job,having gone almost 200 kilometers at the head of the race, and although in the end they have run out of options to contest the victory, Seville has accumulated at least the points to hold the blue jersey.
Soon after, about 23 kilometers from the finish line, about 30 cyclists have gone to the ground, including Adam Yates (UAE), Jay Vine (UAE), Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain-Victorious), Derek Gee (Lidl-Trek), Wilco Kelderman (Visma) and Remi Cavagna (Groupama).
The worst consequences have been suffered by UAE cyclists who have hit the roadside fence: Jay Vine has beentaken to hospital; Marc Soler has had to retire; and we have seen UAE leaderAdam Yates bleed , and although he has continued to race, he has been 13 minutes late , so he has been out of the competition to win the Giro.
In addition, theColombians Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain-Victorious),theRussians Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora), the ItaliansMatteo Moschetti (Pinarello) and the Norwegian Adne Holter (Uno-X Mobility) must also head home .
After being warned of the fall, the platoon has slowed down, but seeing that the rear was not enough to get back in, the race has been neutralized.
The Visma team has taken the baton in the last port of the stage, and before reaching the top , Jonas Vingegaardhas tightened the pace.
Only the Italian Giulio Pelizzari (Bora) and the Belgian Lennert Van Eetvelt (Lotto) have resisted the pedal blow of Vingegaard, despite the difficulty, and the three have rushedtogether towards the finish line with the platoon about 20 seconds away.
In the last mile, the back team capturedthe front trio du, and the Uruguayan cyclist Guillermo Thomas Silva of the Astana team prevailed in the final sprint, beating the German Florian Stork (Tudor) and the Italian Giulio Ciccone.
With this victory, thecyclist who has been to the Caja Rural has made history: he is the first Uruguayan to participate in the Giro de Italia and has won the stage and the leader jersey.
