Treviglio (Italy), Wednesday 13th May: Bianchi is delighted to be sitting at the top of the cycling world after Team Bahrain Victorious rider Afonso Eul\u00e1lio moved into the iconic pink jersey on stage five of the Giro d\u2019Italia.<\/p>\n

Eul\u00e1lio moved into the Maglia Rosa,<\/em> and the Maglia Bianca<\/em> of the best young rider, after making it into a decisive breakaway that worked tirelessly to evade their pursuers, and then battled back from a late crash to sprint to second place in Potenza aboard his Oltre RC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That result saw Eul\u00e1lio claim first place in the General Classification, where he now holds a two-minute-and-51-second lead over stage five winner Igor Arrieta.<\/p>\n

The result is not just a landmark moment for Team Bahrain Victorious, but also for Bianchi, who last led the Giro d\u2019Italia in 2021.<\/p>\n

Bianchi CEO Alberto Cavaggioni said: <\/strong>\u201cThere is a unique and powerful emotion in seeing the Maglia Rosa back on a Bianchi bike. This achievement, coming in our very first year of partnership with Team Bahrain Victorious, is a landmark moment that validates our shared vision and competitive spirit.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an Italian brand that has helped write the history of the Giro d\u2019Italia since the very beginning, leading this race again is a source of immense pride. Afonso\u2019s incredible performance on the Oltre RC proves the racing soul of our technology and the success of our Reparto Corse <\/em>philosophy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis result is a tribute to our owner Salvatore Grimaldi, who always believed in us, and of course, our employees and dealers across the world. This achievement will motivate us to keep pushing the boundaries of innovation and to continue building the dream bikes of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Team Bahrain Victorious rider Afonso Eul\u00e1lio said:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud to wear the Maglia Rosa. It was an extremely hard day out, but also a very special one. Now that it\u2019s on my shoulders, I\u2019ll give everything on the road to fight for it and hold onto it for as long as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also really special to achieve this in our first season racing on Bianchi bikes. As such an iconic Italian brand, we know what it means to carry the Maglia Rosa.\u201d<\/p>\n
