| Mark Cavendish and Paul Smith are good friends. On Wearing the first Maglia Rosa designed by Paul Smith: “It means a lot to me. Two weeks ago we were speaking in his office, and I promised him I’d try my best to win it on Stage One. Paul’s a great friend of mine. He’s been a great supporter through good and bad and you can see he’s a great cycling fan. I’m really happy to wear it after all the work he did to design the jersey for the Giro.” | share this photo |

| “I’m very happy today. It’s not easy to ride at the front, on climbs, curves and cobble stones, at high speed. But my team did so all day. They delivered me to the front at the right moment and thankfully I had the speed to finish it off.” “There were one or two crashes but I don’t think it was excessively dangerous. It’s nice to have a circuit race, and it was a really nice circuit today. I really enjoyed myself. I didn’t expect so many people. I didn’t expect so many people.” | share this photo |
