III Adriatica Ionica Race
Stage 2: Vittorio Venetto – Monte Grappa (148,2 km)
Italian Lorenzo Fortunato became the new leader of the Adriatica Ionica Race after winning on Wednesday at the top of Monte Grappa, the finish of a second stage in which the rider from Castel de Britti persevered until the end to catch Vadim Pronsky, from Astana, who had attacked two kilometres earlier and was ten seconds ahead. Fortunato, in his second victory as a professional, also the second of the EOLO-KOMETA Cycling Team in its journey as a ProTeam structure, optimized the great work done by the team during the whole day. The second stage of the Adriatica Ionica Race was Lorenzo’s day and the Bolognese climber, at his own pace, without overdoing it, was close to perfection. “The objective is clear and we are all together: we are going to try to win with Fortu and we are all going to support him”, said Diego Pablo Sevilla in the morning.
