Second Giro stage win for Elia Viviani in Israel

At the end of the Israel detour of the Tour of Italy, the top Italian sprinter prevailed on the section from Be'er Sheva over 229 kilometers to Eilat on the Red Sea in temperatures of 35 degrees Celsius; he had already won in Tel Aviv on Saturday . Australian Rohan Dennis (BMC Racing) claimed the pink leadership jersey.

The fight for overall victory In the fight for the overall Giro victory, defending champion Tom Dumoulin (Netherlands) has the advantage in a duel with top favorite Chris Froome (Great Britain). Froome, who is taking part despite his unresolved salbutamol affair, is already 37 seconds behind Dumoulin.

Almost without exception, the German professionals took away positive impressions from the first start of a major national tour outside of Europe. “I didn't expect so many fans who were actually interested in cycling. The prologue in Jerusalem was really impressive,” said Lausitz native Tony Martin. Schachmann, taking part in a Grand Tour for the first time, added on Saturday in Tel Aviv: “I have never ridden a race in my career with so many people on the side of the road. It was incredible, we always felt very welcome.” Now things continue in Italy After the end of the stage, the Giro entourage immediately set off towards Catania in Sicily. Within an hour, the world's second largest cycling race left Israel behind from the airport in Eilat. The Giro takes the additional break on Monday due to the enormous logistical effort for the detour to the Middle East. On Tuesday the fourth stage leads from Catania to Caltagirone (198 km).
