MANUEL BELLETTI IS 6TH IN THE 5TH STAGE OF THE GIRO D’ITALIA

Another good performance for Wilier – Southeast in the Giro d’Italia with Manuel Belletti who achieved a 6th place in the final sprint of Benevento.

The romagnolo sprinter was ready to fight for the win in the tough last km, something that wasn’t possible for Matteo Busato, stopped by a mechanical but still classified with the time of the bunch where he was in that moment.

Bad news by Jakub Mareczko who gave up at the half of the stage. Our young sprinter suffered of a respiratory tract infection before the Tour of Turkey and that problem brought to a lower immunity who damaged him causing gastroenteric troubles emphazised in the daily stage.
