Pellizzari secures his first ever stage race win at the Tour of the Alps

Giulio Pellizzari (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) continues to bolster his GC credentials ahead of the Giro d'Italia, taking Friday's stage 5 and securing the overall title at the Tour of the Alps. The 22-year-old Italian went clear near the summit of the day's final climb and held on alone to win 30 seconds ahead of Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) and Michael Storer (Tudor). Bernal and his Ineos teammate Thymen Arensman rounded out the GC podium with Pellizzari, whose overall victory was his first ever in a pro stage race.
