Giro, Stage 12: Celebrating Together

There is no better symbol that cycling is a team sport than the actions of Team Quickstep as they crossed the line in Reggio Emilia.  As the stage winner and holder of the Maglia Ciclamino jersey, Fernando Gaviria punched the air, his teammate Maximiliano Richeze threw his arms wide in victory as well.  As each Quickstep team member crossed the line in turn, they all held their fists aloft.  A victory for one member to the team is a victory for every member of the team.  Behind Gaviria, Jakub Mareczko (Wilier Triestina) looked at the jumbo screen as he rolled over the line in second place on the day.  Further down the order were Sacha Modolo (UAE Team Emirates) and Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo)

Giro, Stage 12: Ill Timed

With less than 10 kilometers to the line in Reggio Emilia, it was truly bad timing for Maximiliano Richeze (Quickstep) to have a flat tire.  His mechanic was quickly out of the car with the required wheel and equally fast to make the change.  With Richeze ready to roll, his mechanic gave him a strong push to get rolling again.  Richeze's legs were needed to lead the Maglia Ciclamino of Fernando Gaviria (Quickstep) to victory.
