| Rohan DENNIS (AUS/BMC RACING): “I was hoping to take more time out of some of the climbers but the stage win surpasses that target. I wanted two time-trial victories in the Giro but I missed out in Jerusalem so I settled for the Maglia Rosa for a few days. I never considered taking it easy after I lost the Maglia Rosa. I still target the top 10. So far I’ve been happy with my performances at the Giro. Anybody in the top 10 now is a threat and, if I have a bad day, it’s also a threat to my top 10.” | share this photo |

| Race leader Simon YATES (GBR/MITCHELTON - SCOTT) was pleased with how things turned out today: “For long time trials, this is definitely the best I’ve ever done. I’ve had better placings but in short time trials or prologues that suited my characteristics. I’m very happy with the outcome today. I did have time checks. On a course like that, it didn’t change anything in my pacing but I liked to know where I am compared to my rivals. I don’t feel very fresh at this stage of the Giro; I feel pretty tired and there are very difficult stages to come. I’ll have to defend instead of attacking. Anybody within 10 minutes is still dangerous. In the Giro, a lot of strange things happen. Hopefully, I’ll have no bad days until we reach Rome. I have a very good team to support me until the very final of the climbs.” | share this photo |
