Was a Tour of Italy positive for Nicholas Bonifaziosprinter born in 1993 of the Intermarché-Circus-Wantywho, however, had to withdraw due to severe bronchitis after the stage’s 140km breakaway Seregno Bergamo: “Thank you all for the support. The tensions caused some serious inflammation, now it’s time to recover after 47 rides. Greetings to all,” read the post on Instagram from the rider, who had also finished eighth and tenth in the San Salvo and Salerno stages. In the end, he finished fourth at the finish in Caorle (where another Italian, Alberto Dainese, had triumphed), i.e. the last chance of success for a sprinter like him before returning to the mountains. A stage in which he avoided the worst with a real number.

As evidenced by the video posted on social networks by Intermarché-Circus-Wanty, Niccolò fended off the threat with a touch like a true champion, getting close to the water bottle and braking just enough to skid and hit it with the rear wheel, sending it off the road. A sleight of hand that is both useful and beautiful to look at
