Speaking at the press conference, the stage winner Lorenzo Fortunato said: "Today, [former skiing star] Alberto Tomba who lives in the same town as me, Castel dei Britti, was watching the stage at my family’s house with my dad. They’re extremely happy. I'd also like to thank the whole staff of Eolo-Kometa. That includes Ivan Basso and Alberto Contador who have won everything - Ivan won here atop the Zoncolan. This morning, he told me: you make you the break, you attack on the Zoncolan and you win. So I did. But he believed in me more than I did! From today on, we’ll grow and progress, the team as much as myself. I'd never ridden the Zoncolan before but I've always seen it as an iconic climb. It’s wonderful to win here." | share this photo |

Your Stage 14 winner, Lorenzo FORTUNATO (ITA/EOLO-KOMETA CYCLING TEAM): First pro victory for Lorenzo Fortunato and first international win since his time in the junior ranks. Hailing from Bologna, he’s the first rider from the Emilia-Romagna region to win a stage at the Giro since Manuel Belletti, who did so on home soil at Cesenatico in 2010. He’s the first rider named Fortunato to win a stage at the Giro d’Italia. | share this photo |

The Maglia Rosa Egan Bernal said: “For sure, Astana wanted to win the stage. They even asked us if we wanted that too but we answered that we’d be happy if the breakaway were to stay ahead. They did a nice stage and they pulled very hard. The downhill was very technical and there were very few riders left at the front. Astana did well trying to win the stage and having faith in [Aleksandr] Vlasov. I always said I had more rivals than the guy in second place behind me. It was Remco [Evenepoel], then Vlasov and now it’s Simon Yates. I expected Yates to do so something today. It was a very good stage for him. He looked strong. I’m sure he’ll remain one of the strongest. I’m happy I managed to follow him today.” | share this photo |
