Daniel Martinez’s BORA-hansgrohe loses a rider
A big loss for Daniel Felipe Martinez
Twenty-seventh in the general classification at 4’08” from Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), the young 23-year-old German had made the start of Tour of Italy sawtooth, with a disappointing 1st stage (nearly 2’30” conceded in Turin), then a much more convincing 2nd, with a fifth place at the top of the Oropa sanctuary, at the same time as its Colombian leader Daniel Felipe Martinez. Currently third overall, the latter thus loses a precious asset for the mountains.
