Almost had a heart attack for Dutch team leader of rose jersey wearer Afonso Eulálio in crazy Giro stage: ‘I went crazy’

Aart Vierhouten has been involved in the cycling world for many years, but he had never experienced the scenario of the fifth Giro stage. In the final of the crazy stage – which was tormented by heavy rain – the sports director of Afonso Eulálio almost had a heart attack. “You try to stay calm, but I went crazy,” said Vierhouten, after he had recovered somewhat, knowing that the pink jersey was hanging firmly around the Portuguese’s shoulders.
