The long-awaited and hard-earned first victory of the season came for EOLO KOMETA with Lorenzo Fortunato in the Asturian mountains. Alone, attacking on the ascent to the Alto del Acebo, he got enough time to enjoy the victory in Cangas del Narcea and wear the jersey as the new leader of the Vuelta a Asturias.
The week before the start of the Giro d’Italia has brought the best possible news to EOLO KOMETA. A high level victory, thanks to all teamwork and with the name of Lorenzo Fortunato. After controlling the race throughout the day, the main peloton was selected in the decisive mountain climbs. It was already in the Acebo where Fortu attacked, first with Rubio (Movistar) and then alone. Looking to get a big win.
Lorenzo Fortunato: “I’m really happy. On the last climb I tried to go flat out to leave everyone behind and not have to take risks on the descent, because the Giro is coming and I want to do well there. I managed to go alone and win, it was incredible. Now it’s time to defend the overall lead, but I’m very confident because all my team-mates have shown to be very strong”.
