Yes, the diminutive Cunego has dyed his already blonde hair a lighter shade of platinum as he dukes it out for the race lead. His Italy compatriot, Riccardo Riccò, hasn't resorted to using hair colouring himself, but as Procycling's Daniel Friebe found out after Stage 3 into Nantes, Riccò, always good for a quote (or three), may need to consider platinum as well.
