Team Bahrain McLaren (Italy) - Press Release: Tuesday, October 20th – The Giro d’Italia resumed after the second rest day with an epic stage for Team Bahrain McLaren.

Jan Tratnik did not miss his chance at the beginning of the third and last week. The Slovenian rider was part of the daily breakaway on the hilly course of stage 16 – from Udine to San Daniele del Friuli (229km) – and after also a solo attack, he went clear on the last steep section just before the finish to take the most important victory in his career. His teammate Enrico Battaglin – who was in the break too – proved to be the fastest by winning the sprint in the chasing group and taking third place.
