[su_quote cite=Andrea Vendrame]Andrea Vendrame: «That's a good sign.»
«It was a tough sprint and I rose to the challenge. That's a good sign after a 15-day altitude training camp on the Pordoi. I'm not in peak condition yet, but I'm feeling better every day. It's great for morale and validates all the work I've put in over the last few weeks. Tomorrow's stage could also be favourable for me. I have a few important goals between now and the end of the season, such as the European Championships with the Italian team in Trento, two hours from my home (12 September), the Bretagne Classic (29 August) and the Tre Valli Varesine (6 October).»
