Ivo Oliveira launched a clever late attack 1400 metres from the line to win stage 2 of the Giro d'Abruzzo, bringing UAE Team Emirates-XRG their second victory in as many days at the four-day Italian stage race.
Oliveira attacked out of the main group when there was a lull in tempo on the final rise to the finish in Penne, opening up a big enough gap before he went under the flamme rouge, which he held all the way until he celebrated emotionally over the line.
