Rally Cycling’s stagiaire Charles-Étienne Chrétien made his name known at the Giro di Sicilia by taking the lead in the KOM classification on stage 1. The 22-year-old Canadian was part of the day’s breakaway and took maximum points over the only categorized climb at Ragusa Ibla.
"It’s really nice to be in the King of the Mountain’s leader’s jersey," Chrétien said at the end of his fifth race for the team. "I was patient and let the two other guys start their sprint from far out and stayed on the wheel which paid off and then I just went for it."
After Stage 2, Chrétien sits 9th in the GC at 18 seconds back of leader Molano.
The other Canadian, James Piccoli (Israel Start-up Nation) sits 88th overall.
