Filippo Ganna<\/a> looked set to turn the final stage of the Giro d\u2019Italia<\/a> on its head on Sunday, but two hangers on and the Unibet Rose Rockets sprint train ensured the Netcompany INEOS rider was eventually caught. A notable detail: one of the two riders glued to his wheel in the breakaway was none other than his brother-in-law Matteo Sobrero<\/a>, riding for Lidl-Trek<\/a>.The winner is always right, and in this case that was Sobrero, since his leader Jonathan Milan won the stage in Rome<\/a>. But it must have been at least a little awkward for him to sit in the wheel of his hard-riding brother-in-law from kilometre 18 to 3. Sobrero is in a relationship with Ganna\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n

Read on below the video!<\/p>\n

Ganna and Sobrero made a deal<\/p>\n

Ganna, who once again showed how hard he can ride on the flat, could laugh about it. \u201cMatteo was of course happy with the outcome, but also a bit disappointed with the way he had to do it. He did the best possible thing for Lidl-Trek and Jonathan, and it was a situation that was not very comfortable for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two spoke after the finish. \u201cAnd in the end we reached a good compromise: a good bottle of wine,\u201d said Ganna, who finished the Giro d\u2019Italia with a time trial victory and plenty of strong work for Thymen Arensman.<\/p>\n

In Rome, he could not add the cherry on top. \u201cIt was a nice attempt, and I also wanted to do that in Rome, but it is never easy. We can try again in the Tour de France,\u201d the Italian concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Filippo Ganna looked set to turn the final stage of the Giro d\u2019Italia on its head on Sunday,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":708783,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,177694,163619,66980,49602,171885,85],"class_list":["post-708782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cycling","tag-filippo-ganna","tag-giro-ditalia","tag-ineos-grenadiers","tag-lidl-trek","tag-matteo-sobrero","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=708782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/708783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=708782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=708782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=708782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
