That was close! 😱 @Ackes171 & @MilanJonathan_ #Giro #GirodItalia @BHRVictorious @TeamEmiratesUAE
In a tight bunch sprint to close out stage 11 of the Giro d'Italia, a photo finish was needed to decide whether Pascal Ackerman or Jonathan Milan had taken the win. Although both riders initially thought they had done enough, Ackerman was the winner.
Taking his first victory of the year, the 29-year-old German sprinter for UAE Team Emirates erupted in celebration and was mobbed by teammates all of whom had pure delight written all over their faces.
Check out the emotional reaction of Ackerman in the video below.
