Valgren wins fifth stage as Del Toro regains lead
Gulf Today
|March 14, 2026
New father Michael Valgren shook off other members of a long breakaway and resisted the pursuit of the big guns to win the fifth stage of Tirreno-Adriatico on Friday as Isaac Del Toro reclaimed the overall lead.
-
Valgren, a Dane who rides for EF Eductation, had not won since a severe crash in 2022.
"It's unbelievable. We all worked so hard for this," Valgren said at the finish. "I just had a baby one month ago, so this is for them and for the team. For me it's just... I'm speechless."
Valgren joined an early break on a hilly 184km ride through the Italian Marche from Marotta-Mondolfo to Mombaroccio.
He pulled away from the only other survivor, 33-year-old French veteran Julian Alaphilippe, with five kilometres to go as a diminished group of general classification contenders closed in.
"I had really good legs all day actually so I wanted to make an early attack and Julian came with me and we worked well together," said Valgren.
