Luke Tuckwell (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe Rookies) has moved into the maglia rosa on stage 5 of the Giro Next Gen, the Australian jumping up two spots on the overall by fighting his way into the break on a tough stage which fractured the peloton of the prestigious U23 men's race.
Tuckwell finished ninth on the 153 km stage to Gavi, 13 seconds behind stage winner Adam Rafferty (Hagens Berman Jayco) while Jarno Widar (Lotto Development Team) – who had started the day in pink – was in 33rd on the stage at 2:03 behind the winner.
