But today, this is what happened on the Giro d\u2019Italia: the leader, Michael Matthews, was unable to defend his position during a stage that was right for him, so <strong>he gave it up to Simon Clarke<\/strong>, also Australian (he is 29, and was born in Melbourne), also on the Orica Green Edge team, and who also grew up as a man and as an athlete in Varese Province. Indeed, many people in the province know Clarke well; he <strong>lived in Castronno<\/strong>, thanks to the sports programmes of the Australian government, and now also has a <strong>house in Varese<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>However, today\u2019s hero of the day on the Giro, is <strong>Davide Formolo<\/strong>; the young man from Verona, a member of the Cannondale-Garmin team, <strong>making his first appearance<\/strong> on the Giro, achieved <strong>the first success in his career<\/strong> when he broke away at the right time, at the top of the Biassa climb, and held on to the lead until the finishing line in La Spezia.<\/p>\n<p>Behind Formolo, in the final stages, <strong>a heated battle began among the greats<\/strong>, the favourites for victory, when Fabio <strong>Aru<\/strong> made a spurt for the finish. The climber from Sardinia made the Astana team work hard, and then increased the pace like crazy; <strong>Alberto Contador and Richie Porte<\/strong> stayed with him, but Rigoberto <strong>Uran<\/strong> lost ground and companions, and <strong>from now on, will have to catch up<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Matthews, it is the turn of Simon Clarke to head the leader board of the Giro d\u2019Italia.
