STAGE 11 – TO THE SPORT DIRECTORS

19/05/2021

COMMUNIQUE BY THE ORGANISATION FOR STAGE 12

ASSISTANCE TO RIDERS

Overtaking the race convoy in order to reach the finish area ahead of the race may be allowed, depending on the situation, only to the team car engaged in on‑foot feeding near the litter zone (at km 117.7 of racing, in Pontassieve). The drivers will have to remain behind the “Race end” vehicle and wait for instructions by the Race Direction.

 

THE TRICOLOUR NUMBER AND THE WHITE JERSEY

During tomorrow’s stage, Mauro SCHMID (TQA) will be wearing the tricolor number.

During tomorrow’s stage, Aleksandr VLASOV (APT) will be wearing the white jersey.

STAGE NAMED AFTER GINO BARTALI

Tomorrow’s stage at the Giro is named after Gino Bartali, the great Tuscan champion. For the youth, so that his memory can be celebrated every year, the Giro d’Italia has decided that, edition by edition, a stage will recall Gino, an athlete and a personality who, with Fausto Coppi, marked the history of Italy. And much more: Bartali was one of the 682 “Righteous Among the Nations”, and his name is engraved on the Wall of Honor in the Garden of the Righteous at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. The stage winner will be awarded a special prize.
