The duo formed by Wout Alleman and Fabian Rabensteiner, after a first stage characterized by some mechanical problems that held them back, the two athletes of the Wilier Triestina Pirelli Factory Team took control of the race going on to win both the second and third stages stage, thus taking the lead in the provisional general classification when there are 3 stages left to go.
“Today we planned to attack on the final climb. But we felt really strong from the start and already opened the gas on the second climb. We were both feeling really good and managed to take the win and also the leader's jersey. We feel really confident and will give everything to keep the jersey until the endWout Alleman.
"I'm really super happy with the last couple of days, Wout and I felt good from the start and managed to open a small gap after about 10-15km and from there on it was kind of a stopwatch. Wout is really fit and helps me a lot to keep up the pace, but we have good sensations and we are confident for the next 3 daysFabian Rabensteiner.
Race characterized by suffering for the couple Samuele Porro and Daniel Geismayr. After a crash in the second stage the Austrian national champion grit his teeth, but his pain forced him to withdraw from the race right at the end of the third stage. In the coming days he will undergo medical tests to see if everything is ok.
The Andalucia Bike Race is now at the halfway point, three days to go and with the Wilier Triestina Pirelli Factory Team in the lead, it will truly be three days of great entertainment.
