After pacing all day on stage 2 of the Tour of the Alps without reward, Ineos Grenadiers hatched a “creative” plan on the third day of racing to put Filippo Ganna in the break and force their GC rivals to chase.
The day ultimately ended with race leader Tobias Foss (Ineos Grenadiers) losing the race lead, but the Norwegian showed great resolve to limit his losses to stage winner and new green jersey wearer Juan Pedro López (Lidl-Trek), with a 31-second deficit to make up on the final two stages.
