A good day for matthewriccitello as this yearβs lavuelta visited its fourth country.
The American finished with the GC contenders on Pal π¦π© and moved up to 16th overall.
Riccitello was supported well on the final category 1 climb by frigomarco_ and janekecz, as the team rallied around the 23-year-old.
He says: βI think it went well. We did a really good job as a team, the guys made sure I was in a good position before the climbs and the descents. Then it was another fast climb to the finish - I just tried to hang in there in the front group. We can go forward with confidence, and hopefully some more opportunities will come up for me.β
