The chaotic fifth stage of this year's
Giro d'Italia wrote many stories. While many discussions centered around the debatable tactics of Alpecin-Deceuninck who haven't made many friends on Wednesday, the four up front wrote their own history.
The 25-year-old
Andrea Pietrobon was no exception. The Polti Kometa rider has never been as close as that day to win a professional race. Precisely 100 meters short of achieving this feat after a desperate last kilometer solo attempt.
