Andrea Vendrame said: "I knew I was the fastest of the last four breakaway riders. I learned from my second place at San Martino di Castrozza two years ago. I looked for this victory and I studied the course very carefully. The first 70km were a huge battle and a bit of luck is always needed to make the breakaway. In the last climb, I tried to anticipate the actions of some of the climbers, then I recovered for a little while. I wanted to bring this victory home at any cost." | share this photo |

Maglia Rosa Egan Bernal said: “For sure, Vincenzo Nibali is a rider with great experience. He can make you win or lose a Giro. Following him in a downhill means risking a crash. I knew there were 4km after the last downhill and I still had teammates with me so I didn’t worry. Nibali took a little advantage and we always have to pay attention to him. Tomorrow it’s a flat stage. It looks quiet on paper but it’s also possible to lose a stage of the Giro there, so I’ll wait for tomorrow’s stage to be complete before I think of the Zoncolan. I have never climbed the Zoncolan before. Everyone says it’s extremely hard, especially the last 3km.” | share this photo |
