Stage winner, Joseph Dombrowski said: "There are ups and downs in a cycling career, good and difficult moments. I feel like today was a good day for me. This is a nice way to start the Giro. Normally I always feel my best during the last week in the mountains. On paper today it was not the stage that suited me the most, but I have to take my opportunities when they are there. We had a good group and a good gap. I knew some guys were closer to the Maglia Rosa than me. I tried to take advantage of that. It’s hard to say that I’m disappointed to miss out on the Maglia Rosa after winning a stage. Maybe there will be an opportunity to take the lead later on but we also have other goals in the team with Fernando Gaviria and Diego Ulissi for the stage wins and Davide Formolo on GC."		share this photo

Alessandro DE MARCHI (ITA/ISRAEL START-UP NATION): “With my way of racing, many attacks haven't paid off in the past but I don’t think that I have made mistakes in the eleven years of my career. At the end of the day, it’s important to never give up. The Maglia Rosa is what all kids dream of. I never really thought I’d get it as I was never anywhere near close to it before. I don’t know exactly why but I started thinking about it two days ago and it happened today. I understood from the first few kilometers that it would be a big battle and not an easy breakaway of three or four riders. It was the right situation that could create opportunities and that’s how things went as planned. Beyond the Maglia Rosa, it’s even more gratifying to hear that many people are happy with what you have done.”		share this photo
