Message from the race organziers: "April 22nd is an emotional day for the Tour of the Alps, as well as for the whole World of cycling. Four years ago today, a tragic road accident stripped away the life of Michele Scarponi. The Italian rider had just returned from the Tour of the Alps, where he had won the first historical stage of the race’s new Euro-Regional era, from Kufstein to Innsbruck. It would have been the last of his too short life."share this photo

Pello BILBAO (ESP/BAHRAIN VICTORIOUS): “It was such a perfect day. I came here at the Tour of the Alps with a stage victory in mind, and I tried from the first day to take it. Maybe today was the stage that suits me the most.

We knew that the decisive moment was the last climb but especially the following descent. We studied it with our Sports Director Pellizotti, outlining the points where I could take some risks and those where I have to be very careful.

Today was a special day as it’s the death anniversary of my late teammate Michele Scarponi and I wanted to do my best to take this victory to dedicate to him. As I already did last time, I won at Tour of the Alps 3 years ago.”
