Fancellu's great performance in the first stage of the Giro d'Abruzzo

Alessandro Fancellu won the first stage of the Giro d'Abruzzo , race 2.1 of 4 stages.

The MBH rider authoritatively prevailed on the Casalincontrada climb (2.3 km at 8.1%), with a sharp burst at 500 meters to go. Garibbo was the first to react, while Vauquelin attempted to close the gap in the final 200 meters. However, no one was able to get close to the 2000-born rider, who won by a whopping 2 seconds over Rondel and Ulissi , who finished on the day's podium.

As many as 7 Italians in the top ten.
