Who can defeat Nairo Quintana at Terminillo? That was the question of the day before the start.

At the famous apennine climb, which played a role in the history of Italian Gira, Tirren’s stage last culminated last year. Then, in the frost and snow blizzard, Quintana triumphed with a staggering lead of 41 seconds on the other Bauke Molle.

“What is he going to do now?” Experts asked. “Nairo feels good, “Said Eusebio Unzue, chief of the Movistar stable, before the royal stage. “This time, however, I expect a much greater number of horsemen to fight for Terminillus on the first day.”

The snow was not snowing on the road as if the snow barriers were only lining. And Quint’s first was not as demoralizing as the previous year.Yet his attack was once again unattainable.

The goal went through 18 seconds ahead of winner of Stage 2 by Gerard Thomas from Sky and 24 seconds before Adam Yates from Orica.

For Quintan, it also meant overall lead in the race 33 seconds ahead of Yates.

Leader Tirren’s jersey has lost the BMC stable, the drivers of which have been handed over from the team’s first time trial.Rohan Dennis has won more than a minute’s loss for Colombia.

Before starting, Dennis said: “Our leader in Tirren is Tejay van Garderen, I and Caruso are just a backup today.” But van Garderen failed nor did BMC’s backup plans go up.

The fear of Russia’s Mamykin from the Katyush stables seemed to be terrible, and the wheel was slipped at the convoy and slipped under the guards into the ravine.But he immediately stood on his feet, scrambled back on the road and continued the race.

Kreuziger

The six-kilometer-long final climb of the day at Terminillo offered work in the Rieti province with an average rate of 7.3 percent and a maximum of 12 percent.

Team mate Adam Yates and Tirren and co-leader Roman Kreuziger was seen in the foreground in the opening passage.

After reaching the previous refugees, the leading four-member Castroviejo (Movistar), Spilak (Katyusha), Kreuziger (Orica) and Kwiatkowski (Sky) led the 12-mile lead.

After another Spilac’s acceleration, however, the Czech cyclist remained behind and withdrew to Yates for a group of favorites where the pace of the Nibali Bahrain Merida has so far been dictated.

The lead trio in the meantime gained 51 seconds.After that, Castroviejo dropped out and Kwiatkowski did not keep up with another Spiller’s acceleration.

In the group of favorites, Tom Dumounin of Sunweb was quickly dropped, while Fabio Aru from Astany was getting bigger and bigger. p> Four yards ahead of the target attacked Yates, followed by Thomas, Quintana and Uran from Cannondal. Quintana stayed for a while, and then 2.5 kilometers ahead of the finish he set himself behind the leader Spielik.

He reached Slovene and passed it.

Then it was only a Quintan show. The celebration began twenty yards ahead of the finish. He could afford it.
