Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Christian Scaroni said: “I’m really happy to win a stage of the Giro d’Italia. Lorenzo Fortunato and I fought very hard and very well. I felt really good when it started to rain at the beginning of the stage. Towards the end, we spoke and decided that I’d take the stage while he was scoring the KOM points. He let me win the stage. I was at the limit in the last kilometre. It was very steep there. In the last climb we dropped the other riders one after the other. We weren’t sure if the Maglia Rosa group or Richard Carapaz would catch us. This victory is for the team. It’s difficult for me to realise that I’ve won a stage of the Giro d’Italia”
