Adriatica Ionica: Lorenzo Fortunato wins stage 2
Eolo-Kometa rider takes the overall lead
Lorenzo Fortunato (Eolo-Kometa) won stage 2 at Adriatica Ionica finishing atop the final ascent to Cima Grappa by seconds ahead of Astana-Premier Tech teammates Merhawi Kudus and Vadim Pronskiy.
"I knew I was okay and waited until the last mile to give it my all. Pronskiy and Kudus were ahead of me, I took them as a reference point and I managed to jump them in the final," Fortunato said in a post-race interview.
The Eolo-Kometa rider, who won the Monte Zoncolan stage at the Giro d'Italia last month, now leads the overall classification at Adriatica Ionica by five seconds ahead of Kudus and nine seconds ahead of Pronskiy.
"I'm happy to wear the leader's jersey, and tomorrow I'll do everything I can to defend it in the gravel stage that will be run near my home. It will be nice to race there among my people and try to conquer the final success. My goal remains to do well in the Italian Championship in Imola," he said.
Adriatica Ionica is a three-day race that concludes with a flat 149.5km stage from Ferrara to Comacchio on Thursday.
