Alberto Contador sitting pretty in pink in Giro d’Italia
Boem was part of the breakaway which held off the charging peloton in the finale of the 200-kilometres route from Civitanova Marche to Forli.
“I’m really, really happy. Of course, it was unexpected to win today as it was the easiest stage but 20 kilometres to go I had a really good advantage... I could not let the opportunity go,” Boem told Eurosport. Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo) enjoyed an uneventful day to retain the overall leader’s pink jersey, with Porte’s bid for the maglia rosa hindered by the mishap 5km from the finish.
