Not only did Simon YATES (GBR/MITCHELTON - SCOTT) bold attack succeed, but there was no else was in picture when he crossed the line in Sappada. Yates is the first rider to win three stages with the Maglia Rosa since Gilberto Simoni in 2003. Eddy Merckx and Marco Pantani are the only other riders to accomplish the same feat.		share this photo
Simon YATES (GBR/MITCHELTON - SCOTT): “Yesterday it was extremely difficult and today was the same. I knew everybody would be tired today. I was also really tired but, at the same time, I was very motivated to take as much time as I could on Tom [Dumoulin] before the time trial. I rode with passion. I gave everything, knowing that everyone would finish empty. I came to the Giro to win the race but I didn’t expect to win three stages. It’s a magnificent achievement. I’m lost for words. I couldn’t imagine this. But I don’t know if the advantage I have now is enough to win the Giro. I’m not sure if I’m the favourite or not.”		share this photo
