The Official Website of the UCI Pro Series Stage Race, held in the Alps between Italy and Austria, through Tirol, Südtirol and Trentino (April 18-22, 2022)
We could not see much of the race because of bad transmission, despite an apparently OK weather.
There were a few attacks in the second half of the Durone Pass; last one and most significant was Cepeda’s (🇪🇨 EF), but he was caught up near the end of the descent, soon after a group of 3 chasers (Seixas (🇫🇷 Décathlon), Storer (🇦🇺 Tudor) and I can’t remember the third one, was it Davide Bais (🇮🇹 Polti) ? there was Paul Double (🇬🇧 Jayco) at some point too…) was also caught up.
In the final climb, Mattia Bais (🇮🇹 Polti) left the group, then reached the flat part, but was caught up in the second uphill part.
Ciccone (🇮🇹 Lidl-Trek) easily wins the sprint before the two Decathlon riders Gall🇦🇹 and Seixas🇫🇷. Bardet (🇫🇷 Picnic) comes 4th. Follow before a tiny split: Stork (🇩🇪 Tudor), the two Australians🇦🇺 Hindley (Bora) and Storer (Tudor), and Poole (🇬🇧 Picnic).
That makes 2 Decathlon, 2 Tudor and 2 Picnic in the same time (before accounting for time bonuses).
