Elia VIVIANI (ITA/QUICK - STEP FLOORS): “Everyone expected me to win so I was very nervous this morning. I've returned to the Giro after a two-year absence and a great desire to win. I've had to use my team-mates earlier than planned. I dedicate this victory to my girlfriend Elena. We sacrifice a lot to achieve this kind of result."		share this photo

“The guys did an amazing job and I want to say a big thanks for that! Rémi took the responsibility on his shoulders and closed the breakaway, Styby brought us to the front, then Florian took over with two kilometers to go, before Michael and Saba dropped me in the closing kilometer. It was chaotic because of all those corners and roundabouts, but we can be proud of ourselves”		share this photo

“I missed the Maglia Rosa by very little yesterday but I made it today thanks to teamwork. My team-mates led me out for 20km to win this time bonus, and even before then they made sure no one escaped up the road. Viviani, to be honest, he sprinted but he didn't go full. It was good to see him get the stage win after... not that he gave it to me but, put it this way, he was kind.”		share this photo
