It turned out that Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) had the best sprint of the five that came to the line together. They had managed to drop the group that contained the two favorites and John Degenkolb (Lotto Soudal) who, on paper, was the best sprinter of the two groups coming into the last 500 meters. On Pedersen's wheel was Florian Senechal (Deceuninck-Quick Step) who was the best of his three teammates out of the group, claiming the second step on the podium. The two aggressors in the final kilometers, Matteo Trentin (CCC) and Alberto Bettiol (EF) took third and fourth respectively. This was Pedersen's first victory after surrendering his Rainbow Jersey three weeks ago. It was great to see that he was congratulated by all of those who just finished unable to get around the young Dane.
With the way the virus is resurging throughout Europe, and the USA, it may be unlikely that I will be painting any more racing this strange season. Hopefully, I wll be back with the Tour of Flanders next week, but I'm not holding my breath for the start of La Veulta. But then, I usually only paint one Grand Tour a year anyhow. The Giro is looking like a great race this year, but I just don't have the energy, nor strenght to try and paint it right now. I am still not anywhere near whole after my kidney donation surgery or the pneumonia complications that followed. Better, but not all better.
