| “I attacked this year at the point they dropped me last year! Winning today is very important to me. I’ve won here before, and I feel the Tirreno-Adriatico very deeply. This year, the strongest riders in the world are here, so winning is good for the team and for my head.” | share this photo |

| “Leading a race in Italy is a novelty for me. I haven’t been in this position before. But at Tirreno-Adriatico, the history and passion give me extra motivation. I’m expecting tomorrow they’ll throw everything at us and then in the time trial I’ll have to give it absolutely everything.” “One thing I’ve learnt from racing the likes of Contador is that it’s not over until it’s over. Some days he’ll probably take time from me and other days I’ll probably take time from him. His style of racing is also to pick up the bonuses and he’s doing a good job.” | share this photo |
