Katusha rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ilnur Zakarin was in prime position to become the first Russian since Denis Menchov in 2009 to pull on the maglia rosa🅰 only for stage 9 to become a day to forget with the 26-year-old crashing twice and conc🎉eding xx time to his overall rivals. Zakarin started the day 23 seconds down on maglia rosa Gianluca Brambilla (Etixx-Quick Step) and finished the stage 2:09 minutes down, slipping from second to 11th.
"Not much to say. I am deeply disappointed. I did not expect to have such a bad luck today. The feelings were really good and I hoped to do a strong race," ꩵZakarin said in a team release.
Zakarin crashed 💃heavily on his left-hand side as the wet weather made a challen🐻ging course that much harder, forcing a bike change. A crash inside the final kilometre added insult to injury and one of his worse days on a bike as Zakarin added.
"Two crashes and a bike change in one day - tꩵhat's too much. But the weather made this course quite dangerous," said Zakarin. "I have some injuries, mostly on the left leg, hip and around my knee. I really hope to recover in the next days. I am motivated to keep on fighting in this Giro. The team supports me and I know I can do well."
While Katusha were left to wonder what could have been, Anton Vorobyev recorded his b🧸est result yet in a grand tour with the 25-year-old finishing in fifth place having impressed earlier in the season with two stage wins at the Circuit Cycliste Sarthe - Pays de la Loire.

Matthias Brändle content with second place in Chianti
Former UCI World Hour Record holder 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Matthias Brändle was the closest rider to the time of stage 9 winner Primoz Roglic (LottoNL-Jumbo) but the Austrian had "no regrets" with his performance. While there was no reward for effort, it was a good day for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:IAM Cycling who placed two riders in the top three with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vegard Stake Laengen crossed the line seven seconds slo🐬wer than his teammate.
"The ten seconds that cost me the victory are easy to find," explained Brändle. "Roglic is a few kilos lighter than me, and on that ꦫlast climb, I was just not able to compete with him. But I have no regrets because I was still able to race over perfectly dry roads."
"I am very happy for myseꦯlf and for the team," said Brändle. "I didn't do as well in my prologue as I wanted (9th). So today, I was powered by a sense of revenge. After previewing the course, I did a👍 perfect warm-up, and immediately found a good rhythm."
The result saw IAM Cycling▨ place two riders on a WorldTour podium for the first time its history which was also Laengen's best result since joining the team at the end of 2015.
"I did a good recon of the course, and managed to memorize all the potential traps that the curves of the route could have. In addition to that, I have often been a strong time triallists over longer distances. So I am not going to deny myself taking pleasure in this result," said the 195cm N♐orwegian.
Off-day for Uran in Chianti vineyards
Two years ago at the Giro d'Italia, Rigoberto Uran rode into the maglia rosa with a powerful time trial through the vineyards of Barolo in similar conditions to crucial Chianti test against the clock. The 2015 Colombian champion against the clock had identified stage 8 as cr꧑ucial to his overall hopes only foಌr a crash to derail his bid for ♏a third appearance on the final Giro podium.
"I crashed on the descent," Uran told "I tried. It was a difficult day for me. The cr🎀ash affected me a lot, especially since I also had to chan෴ge bikes."
While Uran now sits in 15th place on the general classification, 2:56 minutes down in race leader Gianluca Brambilla, he isn't conceding his race just yet with plenty of decisive days of racing to come.
