Your Stage 6 winner, Esteban CHAVES (COL/MITCHELTON - SCOTT): “It’s been a fantastic day for us as a team but we have to keep our feet on the ground. A lot of things can still happen in the Giro with many more climbs ahead but we have something to enjoy now. I’ve worked very well in Colombia to prepare for the Giro. With a lot of work and a lot of love, it’s not impossible to win great races. I’ve been a bit lucky to make the breakaway with only one effort, but it’s beautiful to win here today. Stage win plus Maglia Rosa and Maglia Azzurra… how cool is that! When he came across, Simon Yates told me, ‘Come on, you've won the stage!’ At least that’s what I understood. It’s not only today but, if you look at our team’s results since January, we’ve done great so far.”		share this photo

New race leader, Simon YATES (GBR/MITCHELTON - SCOTT) by 16s		share this photo
“I’m really happy. I arrived here at the Giro to try to win and I’ve been trying from the start in Israel to take the Jersey. Today I finally realised my goal. I want to win this Giro, of course. From the beginning I said that I believe we have the strongest team and I still think so. It’s not just the climbers but the guys for the flat, too – real powerful guys. I think we can do a really good job in defending the jersey. Of course it will be difficult – there are many hard stages – but I’ve confidence in the guys around me. I have the confidence to be the captain until Rome. We came here as a team and I’ll try to win.”		share this photo
