Giro d’Italia #15: Siutsou consolidates 9th overall
Alexander Foliforov (Gazprom) won the stage 15 individual mountain time trial of the Giro d’Italia. The leader of the race overall, Steven Kruijswijk (LottoNL-Jumbo) finished in 2nd on the stage and Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) was the rider in 3rd place. For Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka the main priority on today’s testing 10.8km uphill course was for Kanstantsin Siutsou to conserve his 9th place on the overall classification. The rest of our African Team riders were really just looking to get through the stage without having to burn too many unnecessary matches. Foliforov set an incredibly fast time of 28’39” after starting mid pack today.
