Peter Sagan (Bora – Hansgrohe) soloed to win Stage 10 of the 2020 Giro d’Italia, 177km from Lanciano to Tortoreto. Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates) and João Almeida (Deceuninck – Quick – Step) finished second and third, respectively.
João Almeida (Deceuninck – Quick – Step) retains the Maglia Rosa and leads the general classification.
Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Peter Sagan said: “I won with my style, putting on a show! We were in the breakaway all day, I had good legs, and went solo on the uphill before descending with attention in the downhill and then full gas in the final kilometers.”
The Maglia Rosa João Almeida said: “Also today the team did a perfect job. In the final I tried to attack, then I managed to gain a few seconds with the time bonus on the finish line. Overall, it was a good day.”
Speculation about the completion of the race reached a new high today with both the Mitchelton-SCOTT and Jumbo-Visma teams withdrawing due to positive COVID results in their squads.
