This 6 May 2017 Daniel Teklehaimanot – Post race interview – Stage 2 – Tour of Italy / Giro d’Italia 2017.
Today, Eritrean cyclist Daniel Teklehaimanot arrived first on a second category climb in the mountains of Sardinia island, in the second stage of the Giro d’Italia race.
This meant that Daniel Teklehaimanot took over the King of the Mountains jersey (a blue jersey in the Giro).
After Teklehaimanot had already been King of the Mountains in the Tour de France, as first African ever, now he is the first African ever in the Giro’s blue jersey.
This will generate big enthusiasm in Eritrea, where cycling is popular.
Teklehaimanot is a member of a South African team.
There is also a new leader in the general classification after this second stage: Greipel from Germany, the winner of today’s bunch sprint.
