Smokin’ Joe Dombrowski joins elite company with Giro d’Italia stage victory
How huge was Joe Dombrowski‘s stage victory Tuesday at the Giro d’Italia? Long a fan favorite, “Dombro” proved that sometimes nice guys do finish first.
Of course, in professional cycling, being nice might find you friends in the peloton, but it won’t earn victories. No gifts.
Dombrowski has been hunting for a marquee win for a while now. Since winning the “Baby Giro” in 2012, he’s been knocking on the door of a big win for years. No one ever questioned Dombrowski’s professionalism or talent, but Tuesday’s performance reveals how much he’s improved his racing acumen. Winning out of a big break not only requires great legs, but also having the street smarts to know when and where to move.
