stage 4 Giro ;
2º Macannazi, solo on 0:57"
Again an excellent result in this mountain stage, that was dominated by team RemcoEvenpoelckx. Again his climber Huard won.
It did not look good in s1 because helper Vorre started too hard, or Macannazi started "too slow", it depends on how you look at it.
Anyway, in the first two sections Macannazi was isolated in the 2nd group.
Luckily he met his helper in s3, because Vorre could not follow the high pace in s3 of team RemcoEvenpoelckx.
The s3 situation = a break away of 3 RemcoEvenpoelckx climbers and the chasing group of 11 ( incl. my 2 climbers ) on already 0:49"
In between 2 too fast helpers of other teams on 0:25".
In s4 Huard said "thank you and bye" to his teammates, and he was riding solo to a certain victory due to the big time lead.
Also Macannazi attacked solo in s4, first he passed the 2 too fast helpers, and then he passed the 2 RemcoEvenpoelckx helpers.
He even came 1 second closer in the final climb, but still a too big gap of 0:48"
More importantly ; in s4 Macannazi was 0:19" ahead of the chasing group of 6 with just 3 teamcaptains in it.
And that time gap was enough to secure his 2º place in downhill section 5.
