Max Walscheid delivered a superb performance on the opening stage of the 104th Giro d Italia to finish in 8th place, and lay down a marker for Team Qhubeka ASSOS (TeamQhubeka.com)
ambitions at the 2021 event.
Walscheid s performance, in which he finished 19 seconds behind eventual stage-winner Filippo Ganna (IGD), was the highlight of an excellent outing for the team, who placed 5th overall in the team competition on the opening day.
The short 8.6km course through Turin saw plenty of power laid down by the peloton and ultimately it was the dominance of Ganna, the world champion, who ran out a comfortable winner by 10 seconds ahead of Edoardo Affini (TJV).
