Stage 7 ITT winner, Italian Adriano MALORI (MOVISTAR), can be proud. He beat the best in the world. Victory near the town where he took the Maglia Rosa in 2012: “I’ll come back to this part of Italy on holiday. It’s beautiful and it brings me luck. It still hasn’t sunk in. The result list is fantastic: my name above all the strongest specialists, it’s truly hard to believe.”		share this photo

Minutes, not seconds: “I came to this race wanting to win it. I wasn’t happy at Arezzo when when I lost 6 seconds to Sagan and Kwiatkowski, because I thought those seconds might be decisive. But in the end I’ve won by a matter of minutes, so I’m very happy.”		share this photo
The solo attack to Guardiagrele: “I wanted to do something different. In the morning, on the bus, I said that If I would go alone, if I thought I could make it all the way to the finish. It wasn’t in my plans to ride across to a group of breakaway riders, of course, but I was motivated that morning.”		share this photo
The romance of the long-distance attack: “The crowds for the Tirreno have been big. In the end, people want to see something different: it’s what we all want in cycling. It’s not easy, and sometimes the opportunity never arises, or you don’t have the legs. But I was very happy the previous day, when I took my first uphill stage win, and, at Guardiagrele, I think I was 3 or 4 times happier."		share this photo
