Diego Ulissi said: “I started the stage very motivated with the certainty of being able to beat everyone. After I sped up, I've seen a gap behind me and I knew that whoever would come across would have spent a lot of energy. It's big to win on the second day when everyone wants to win and is fresh as well. The sprinters also tried. That's why I asked the team to make the race hard. It's been a perfect tactic that enabled me to beat Peter [Sagan].” share this photo

Disappointed with another Grand Tour runner-up finish, Peter SAGAN (SVK/BORA - HANSGROHE): "The final climb of the stage was pretty hard, 3.7km and from the bottom to the top we went full gas. In hindsight, maybe I could have done something better. When I caught Ulissi and Honoré, maybe I should have sprinted immediately, but I was also on the limit because of the big effort I did to catch them. When they sprinted I gave my maximum but Diego was stronger and won with a margin of 4-5 bikes. It is what it is and I'm satisfied with my second place. It is strange for me to wear the mountain jersey. I got some points for the ciclamino jersey but tomorrow will be another hard stage, so we will have to see day by day." share this photo

It has been so long, Peter SAGAN (SVK/BORA - HANSGROHE) asks Filippo GANNA (ITA/INEOS) what it is like to win so much. (Sagan hasn't won a race in 15 months) Or, Sagan could be telling Ganna he looks pretty in Pink.share this photo
The Maglia Rosa Filippo Ganna said: “In my first 24 hours in the Maglia Rosa, I've realised what it means for the fans. I heard people yelling my name and Salvatore Puccio's because he's from here. I'll never forget that day. I thought of trying to go for the win but I've preferred to not take any risk and retain the jersey. Geraint Thomas had fantastic legs again today. I hope he'll take over from me tomorrow.” share this photo
