Valentin Paret-Peintre
"It's incredible!"
"I can't describe how I feel, it's incredible! I was in the breakaway to get a good result and maybe even win. And I've achieved my first victory as a professional in a Grand Tour, which is exceptional. Looking at the race profile, I knew I had to attack in the last four kilometers because that was the most difficult part, and that's what I did. Winning the Giro a year after my brother is special. Last year, when he won his stage, my name was mistakenly written on the champagne bottle. This time, I'm the real winner."

"I'm really happy for my brother
"Valentin had a great race, he was simply the strongest. I couldn't feel my legs in the last few metres, but I gave it my all right up to the finish line. I'm really happy for my brother.
