Gianluca Brambilla wins Giro stage eight in Arezzo

Weather: Foligno: Variable, 16°C. Wind: moderate – 22kmh.
Arezzo (approx. 5:15 PM finish): Rain, 18°C. Wind: weak – 6kmh.

The Route: Stage 8 of the Giro d’Italia, Foligno to Arezzo (186km), is a hilly stage given a special flavour by the beautiful but insidious gravel roads on the climb of Alpe di Poti.

This stage combines flat and mountain roads. The route runs up the Tiber River valley, after rolling past Assisi and Perugia, all the way up to Città di Castello. The roads are quite wide, but with worn out surfaces in places, and narrowing when cutting through urban areas. Just past Città di Castello, the route leaves the Tiber River valley to tackle the steep Anghiari ascent first, followed by the Scheggia categorised climb.

The stage course rolls along wavy roads, with a few narrower sectors while crossing urban areas, all the way up to Indicatore (intermediate sprint) and Arezzo. Next on the route, after a first pass over the finish line, is the Alpe di Poti climb, featuring 6.4km on dirt roads, and double-digit gradients. After clearing the KOM summit, the road drops quickly into Foce dello Scopetone and straight into the finish.

Stage 8 Alpe di Poti KOM profile

The final kilometres run entirely within the city. A fast descent down from Scopetone, with wide bends, leads to the stadium. The route then cuts across the city centre, where traffic dividers and roundabouts will be the main obstacles. After the “flamme rouge”, the route takes two right-hand bends on wide roundabouts, and passes under a mediaeval gateway. A short, steep climb (first on asphalt road, and then on stone-slab paving) leads to the home straight (200m), still slightly uphill (approx 5%), on 6m wide stone-slab paving.

The Race: The group, 190 riders strong, passed km 0 at 12.27.

Race leader Gianluca Brambilla's team posted this: In the break since the start of Giro d'Italia stage 8, together with teammate Matteo Trentin and 11 other riders, Gianluca Brambilla attacked on the final climb of Alpe di Poti and made the difference on the grueling ramps ranging from 8% to 13%. As he left everyone else behind, he also opened a 30-second gap on the chasers and crested the top of the ascent in the lead, pushing hard on the descent and making sure he's keeping the advantage over Matteo Montaguti.

In Arezzo, which was hosting a stage finish for the first time in 13 years, not only that he took the biggest victory of his career, but also became the new leader of the general classification, two superb results for a rider who has always believed in his chances and potential.

Seconds after the stage finish, stage winner and new Maglia Rosa Gianluca Brambilla said: “This is amazing! My idea at the beginning of the Giro was to focus on today’s stage and I’ve made it but I cannot beieve that I’ve done it. I have to thank Matteo Trentin because he did an excellent job. I was the rider who initiated the breakaway but he did most of the work until I rode away in the steep part of the climb. I’m delighted. Everything is going well for me this year. The birth of my daughter Asia twenty days ago has also changed my life. It’s beautiful”.

Stage 8 profile

Stage 8 photos by Fotoreporter Sirotti:

The unpaved Alpe di Poti crested about twenty kilometers before the finish

Valerio Agnoli leads a group up the Poti

A tough climb with a patch of 14% gradient

Nikias Arndt

Fabian Cancellara leads a group

Tom Dumoulin in his last moments in pink

Heinrich Haussler

Diego Ulissi

Stage winner Gianluca Brambilla

The peloton rolls into the beautiful town of Arezzo

But Gianluca Brambilla got there first

André Greipel retained the points classification leadership

Lotto Soudal still has the points (red jersey) and climbers (blue jersey) classification leaderships

But Gianluca Brambilla has the coveted maglia rosa
