Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Kasper Asgreen said: “It was a tough day out there. It’s annoying that you have to destroy yourself completely like this to win bike races but when it works out it’s worth it so I’m super happy. The team gave me the permission and the freedom to go for it today and I’m super grateful for that. I knew that in the second half of a Grand Tour, everybody has tired legs and that made the difference today for the breakaway to be successful. The weather conditions have definitely played in my favour. The final circuit was quite technical. Wet roads made it harder for the bunch to catch us. It’s fantastic to win a stage of the Giro d’Italia after I did it at the Tour de France. I’m one step closer to the trilogy”.
