Stage 16 of the Giro d’Italia 2023 promised a lot of action in the mountains. With 6km to go, an attack by João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) selected a small group to compete for the stage win and the pink jersey.
Remember the decisive attack:
In the attack, only Geraint Thomas managed to keep up, but it wasn’t enough, and João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) outpaced the British rider to win Stage 16 of the Giro d’Italia 2023.
However, a new image of this moment has now emerged. The Velon CC channel released the moment of the Portuguese rider’s victory and the reaction of the team manager, Fabio Baldato, and two colleagues from the UAE Team Emirates, who were inside the team car. The three leaders celebrate intensely with João Almeida’s success.
