EFE · Road Competition · 05/12/2024

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates), solid pink jersey of the 2024 Giro d’Italia, served as a thrower in the finish line for his Colombian teammate Sebastin Molano, a job that he considered rewarding for “helping a friend.”

“I haven’t become a pitcher, but Molano did a very good job to be in front at the end. He didn’t get the win, but third place is a good result and I’m happy to have helped a friend,” Pogacar commented on the goal of Naples.

Pogacar will enjoy the first day of rest this Monday with an advantage of 2 minutes and 40 seconds over the Colombian Daniel Felipe Martnez (Bora-Hansgrohe) and 2 minutes and 58 seconds over the Welshman Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), second and third in the general

“I have a comfortable lead before the first rest day. It’s nice to relax in Naples. We’ve already seen beautiful landscapes since the start of the Giro. Here I can eat some pizza and have a cappuccino to make the rest day enjoyable. Tomorrow I will forget about the race and on Tuesday we resume the Giro,” he highlighted.
