  • Ron 

Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux) has won Stage 10 of the 2022 Giro d’Italia, the 196km-long route starting from Pescara and finishing in Jesi. Mathieu Van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) and Vincenzo Albanese (Eolo-Kometa Cycling Team) finished second and third respectively. Girmay became the first Eritrean stage winner at the Giro d’Italia, one and half months after he made history in the northern classics, winning Gent-Wevelgem.

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Girmay said: “I started the Giro with the desire to win a stage. Everyone from the team pulled for me today, even the GC riders, Domenico Pozzovivo was amazing at the end. At 600m to go, he said: ‘come’. He pushed me to go and win. I realize I’m making history but it’s thanks to my team and my family. I’m really grateful to them.”

Juan Pedro Lopez Perez (Trek-Segafredo) retains the Maglia Rosa. Lopez Perez said: “When we passed Filottrano, I started to cry. I didn’t get to know Michele Scarponi but I know his family and there were a lot of emotions. I was lucky enough to meet Biniam Girmay three or four years ago. We’ve maintained a good relationship since then. We also keep in touch via social media. He makes history today. Moreover, he’s a very humble and amicable person. As for myself, I enjoy every day and every kilometer in the Maglia Rosa. I don’t know for how much longer but tomorrow I’m sure I’ll enjoy it again.”
