Attack mode 👊

“Today was probably the best day of my season until now, when I could really go deep and find my old feelings.”

@alessandro_demarchi in the breakaway isn’t something new but at this @giroditalia, his stage 10 breakaway and late solo attack marked the “start” of his Giro. The Italian is finding his legs day by day and we have a feeling we’ll be seeing him at the front of the race again!

@cfhagen fights to 5️⃣th at @tourdehongrie_official

Racing in Hungary wrapped up today with Carl Fredrik taking sixth place on the decisive queen stage to secure fifth overall, while @neilandskrists crossed the line in eighth place to finish seventh on GC.

Rudy Barbier had his eyes on the final intermediate sprint of the race to try and take back the green sprint jersey but was struck by bad luck when a crash prevented him from sprinting. An unfortunate end after a solid week from the French sprinter with three sprint podiums!

Another spot on the podium for Rudy Barbier. In stage 4 of the Tour of Hungary, our man in green saw only Dylan Groenewegen and Fabio Jakobsen finish in front of him. Itamar Einhorn completed today’s top 10.

Unfortunately, Barbier lost his points jersey to Jakobsen, but tomorrow is another day. It won’t be one for the French sprinter though, as it is a mountaintop finish, but climbers Carl Fredrik Hagen and Krists Neilands can turn things upside down in the general classification.

We’re 7 stages down at @giroditalia, just 14 to go 😉

Cancel your weekend plans as the second week of racing kicks off with a tough circuit stage in Napoli 🍕 today before we head back to the mountains on Sunday and then, a well-deserved rest day on Monday 🙌

Having finished fourth in the opening stage, and second by a bike length in the second stage, Barbier missed out on the third stage win by the length of a wheel.

“I feel better and better in this race, and I get closer and closer to the victory”, he said after finishing second again in the Tour de Hongrie.

The Hungarian Puszta is an exclave of the Eurasian Steppe, famous for its treeless plains, saline steppes, and salt lakes. It was not surprising the race would unfold in an interesting way here, especially when the wind picked up, halfway into stage 2.

The bigger teams in the Tour de Hongrie split the bunch into many pieces. Israel – Premier Tech had Tom van Asbroeck, GC-contenders Krists Neilands and Carl Fredrik Hagen, and sprinters Rudy Barbier (fourth yesterday) and Itamar Einhorn in the first peloton.

Barbier was on the wheel of Jakobsen, trying to beat him on the line, but without success: second. Einhorn came from further back, with a lot of speed, but just not enough to make the podium: fourth.

French sprinter Rudy Barbier was in the mix for glory in the first stage of the Tour de Hongrie.

“There was some battling for positions before the last kilometer, and my teammates put me in a good position. In the chicane I maintained fifth. I wish I could sprint to the podium, but I had to settle for fourth.”
