Gianni MOSCON (ITA/INEOS GRENADIERS) wins Stage 1 ahead of 2nd Idar ANDERSEN (NOR/UNO-X PRO CYCLING TEAM) and 3rd Alexandr RIABUSHENKO (BLR/UAE TEAM EMIRATES)		share this photo

Gianni MOSCON (ITA/INEOS GRENADIERS) post-race: "There's no better way to get back racing after two months away due to an injury. I've lived in Innsbruck for three years and so I was really motivated to try to win at home. "It gave me that bit extra that made the difference. Knowing the roads was an advantage, especially psychologically. I knew what was coming and knew how to judge my effort. Of course you need the legs too and it worked out perfectly."		share this photo

Stage 1 winner and race leader, Gianni MOSCON (ITA/INEOS GRENADIERS): "The battle for the GC will be hard because some of the best climbers in the world are here as they get ready for the Giro d'Italia. We'll try to defend the lead, but I know I might struggle. I just want to enjoy doing the second stage in the leader's jersey."		share this photo
