Alexander Konychev and Lukas Rüegg placed before the finale on the third stage of the 60th Giro della Regio Friuli – Colin Stüssi gives slight all-clear after initial examination

6 september 2024 – 

Above all, the team members are pleased with the information following today’s examination of Colin Stüssi. Nothing is broken in the area of the lower leg and hip. The 31-year-old from Näfels in Switzerland is suffering from severe bruising. Whether the tour specialist will be able to start at the Tour of Istanbul UCI 2.1 next week is currently more than uncertain.

Strong performance of the Vorarlberg team also unrewarded on the third stage

Alexander Konychev and Lukas Rüegg put in a very strong performance today. Only after 100 kilometers did they set off with some of their rivals towards the finish in San Daniele del Friuli. But today, too, the group was caught shortly before the finish.

“Today the guys showed morale after Colin’s retirement and were constantly active. It’s a shame that it wasn’t enough for a top result today, they would have deserved it!” Werner Salmen Sporting Director

Stage winner in the sprint of a large group: Norwegian Jorgen Nordhagen from Team Visma – Lease a Bike Team.
