The 11th stage of the Giro d’Italia, 153 km from Forlì to Imola, turned out to be a transitional stage for LAMPRE-MERIDA.

Despite some attempts, the blue-fuchsia-green riders could not join the main breakaway of ten riders which led the stage in the rain and gave Russian Zakarin the opportunity to make a solo attack with which he took the victory.

The former breakaway mates crossed the finish line 53″ later, while Manuele Mori, the first LAMPRE-MERIDA rider to reach the finish, was in the main group and he obtained 13th place.

All the other blue-fuchsia-green cyclists were in the second group. Tomorrow they are expected to again be protagonists like in the previous stages.
