Giro d'Italia stage 6: Finish line quotes
Find out what the rid🦩ers had to say about the first summit finish at Roccara𝓰so





168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tim Wellens 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:(Lotto Soudal):
"It’s a very, very special win for me. I’ve got thank the belief of the team and thanks 🅠to Dumoulin who lets us get away. Tom c🙈ame to me and said it was an ideal moment to attack. Pim then came to me and we pulled through. We were all well down overall and we so got plenty of space. That surprised me, but sometimes you need a little luck. On the final climb I felt that I was the strongest and I so I went for it."
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tom Dumoulin (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giant-Alpecin):
"I hadn’t planned to attack. If I see a possibility I go for it. This was♓ a climb that suited me. You need to have the legs but I had them today.
"When Nibali attacked I suffered but then when he came back ꦫI went for it. You’ve got to follow the moment. I noticed that Nibali was struggling on the flatter section and so I thought I&rs𝓀quo;d go for it. I really surprised myself today. Now I’m riding for the GC but we’ll see what happens. I honestly didn’t really think to go so well."
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Davide Formolo (Cannondale):
"Rigoberto was at altitude just before the Tour de Romandie. It was a tough day for us but the Giro is still long and so I’m sure he’ll comꦕe good later and show it on some stages."

Domenico Pozzovivo (AG2R-La Mondiale):
"There was a s🌱trong headwind all stage and that’s why the stage was kind of blocked all day. The climb doesn’t allow for a big selection but then it kicked off. Dumoulin looked good and it was really hard for me to get across to him.
"In a more suitable finish, I could have done better. More than this was difficult because there was a nice piece of flats four kilometers from the finish. I think I played it well tactically. In the sprint I was certainly not one of the favorites among those in front, but I am happy to ha🤡ve gained a bit of ground on the other favorites."
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bob Jungels (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Etixx-QuickStep):
"I think today a lot of things changed. It was the first real mountain stage where I think all of the 🐟favourites were on the limit. It was a tough day with the rain. Everyone was free🌜zing on the downhill, so it’s been a tough day.
"I’m really happy to still be in this [white] jersey and to be up front in the GC, of💜 course.
"It was the plan to work and stay safe. W♔hen you are riding in front then it is more safe than being behind. We’ve shown great things from the first day until now. I think we will just continue like this.
"Feeling-wise, I didn’t have my best day but when I looked at the results, I was not 🉐that bad. I’m hapಞpy right now."
Marc Reef (Giant-Alpecin, director):
"It was a really tough day. I think we did a good job with the team. We controlled [the race] in the beginning and that was not too hard. Movistar did a very fast descent but it all came back together. We took control again, when five guys were in the lead. The gap was pretty big and other teams had to come to h🌠elp, to take the stage.
"I think in the end, on the climb🍃, we had four guys there to protect Tom, to do the chase. Tom was so strong, and that I didn’t expect.
"From Astana and Movistar, they are also fighting for GC, so we could expect something from them. But we stayed calm. Thomas Ludvigsson was still ꦆ꧟in the group and we stayed calm, they made a tempo, the gap wasn’t growing anymore, so everything was still under control.
"We expected more attacks, but after Nibali attacked, Tom felt that the moment was there, and he made an attack. In the end, he came back to Fuglsang and was fourth. It was a great result for the day and to keep the pink jersey."
