Andrea Vendrame: «Satisfied with this top 10»
«I'm happy with this top 10 finish because the field of sprinters is very strong. Today, everyone had good legs because it was the first road stage of the week. Everyone will be a little more tired tomorrow, so I hope to improve on this result. I've recovered well from Strade Bianche. The Italian races are close to my heart, and I want to get good results in the remaining stages.»[/su_quote]
