Post race press conference. Q: How did the reality of today’s stage compare with your pre-stage plans?
A: We expected a hard day. We reconned the final 80km of this stage last Wednesday, when we arrived at the Giro d'Italia, and we expected a hard day. We didn't really want such a big breakaway to go, but it worked out well for us because we had two good climbers there, and I had confidence that, if it stayed away, they might do well. If it came back, I knew they'd work for me in the final. It turned out better that we had planned.Q: What are your plans now?
A: Me and my whole team here have really fond memories of the Giro d'Italia last year, when we might have been able to achieve even more. So this year we have all guns blazing and we want to do everything we can. We have riders here for every discipline, and we can achieve a lot with the team we have brought here. We are super confident, and if a stage suits one rider, the rest of the team will work 100% for him. We don't have just one leader, so we can go for all sorts of different types of stage. | share this photo |
