Trek-Segafredo Team (France) - Press Release: Showtime by Giulio Ciccone on the final day of the Critérium du Dauphiné. “It’s been a hard few weeks, but I knew what I’ve done so far in the season was still there”

It didn’t take too long for Ciccone to get back on track. If Dauphiné was, by intention, the race to get some feedback on the road to the Tour de France, after more than a month away from racing… well, here it is.

Giulio won the final stage of the French race with a show of strength, as he already did earlier in the season at Volta Valenciana and Volta Catalunya. Today, he faced the challenge of getting in the breakaway with riders like Alaphilippe and Benoot (just to name a couple). Climb after climb, Ciccone made his performance stronger and stronger. The leaders’ group, behind him, never let up, leaving a maximum advantage of only 2’30”.
