Andrea Vendrame: "The Giro set Giro free"
"I had seen the race profile yesterday and knew it could suit me. It was a grueling stage and there was something to be done. When I broke away, it took a huge effort to get to the finish line, and I'm really happy to have won. The Giro freed Giro , I'm more relaxed since I won there. For the second time in my career after 2019, I've won a second race this season. I hope it continues until the Italian Championships.
But in the meantime, we still have three great steps to take. The group is doing great, we can be ambitious."[/su_quote]
