Hats off to Dyachenko

“A breakaway was expected to stay ahead until the finish. When the riders took off, those teams that have their riders up front didn’t pull the pack. We had Dyachenko there and he showed a great performance. Too bad he came fourth but still, hats off to him,” Roman said.He had no trouble keeping up on the first climbs. “Some of those ramps really caught us by surprise because they were extremely steep. It wasn’t a typical mountainous stage but we put in 3000m of climbing. It felt strange riding over climbs after those flat stages but as a team we worked perfectly today. The two weekend stages will be a bit harder but they shouldn’t be the crucial stages of the Giro. I expect that a group of the contenders for the GC will arrive all together at the finish,” he added.6th stage (207 km): 1. Miguel Angel Rubiano (Col/Androni Giocattoli) 5:38:30, 2. Adriano Malori (Ita/Lampre), 3. Michal Golas (Pol/Omega Pharma-Quickstep), 4. Alexandr Djacenko (Kaz/Astana), 5. Cesare Benedetti (Ita/NetApp), … 51.
