| Your Stage 1 winner, Filippo GANNA (ITA/INEOS): “This is only pride for myself, for the nation and for Italian cycling. My main concern was to ride clean. I've seen some riders had problems. I've won four World Championships on the track, one in time trialling and today this wonderful jersey. I hope to not finish my career here and there is more to come. We will now work to help our captain Geraint Thomas.” | share this photo |
