His performance in the Giro Next Gen dramatically increase the odds of the Dungannon rider landing a major pro contract for 2024
The Hagens Berman Axeon rider then defended his position on the following four stages, including Saturday’s hilly race to the Pian del Cansiglio. In addition to his second place overall, he was second in the combination classification and third overall in the King of the Mountains competition.
Rafferty is still just 19 years of age, a year and a half younger than the race winner. His performance in the Giro Next Gen, the under 23 version of the Giro d’Italia, dramatically increase the odds of him landing a major pro contract for 2024. In France, Rás Tailteann winner Dillon Corkery performed strongly in the 2.2-ranked Tour du Pays de Montbéliard. He was sixth in the prologue on Friday, 16th on Saturday’s stage to Colombier-Fontaine and then seventh on Sunday’s final leg in Dampierre-les-Bois. That saw him finish the 2.2-ranked race fifth overall, 18 seconds behind the race winner Sten Van Gucht .
In Belgium, Rory Townsend showed strong form in advance of the defence of his National Road Race Championships title next Sunday, taking 16th overall in the Baloise Belgium Tour. The 27-year-old’s best placing was seventh on Thursday’s second stage. In Switzerland, Megan Armitage is 57th overall after two stages of the Tour de Suisse Women. She was 55th on Saturday’s opening leg to Weinfelden, then 47th in Sunday’s individual time trial to Abtwil. The WorldTour event continues on Monday with a hilly stage to Ebnat-Kappel, and concludes on Tuesday.
