Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Mads Pedersen said: “What an incredible Giro this is! Timing my effort was dictated by instinct. I had to open up on the right side close to the barriers. So I went a bit earlier than I wanted to. On such a hard day and a final like this, everyone has burning legs in the finale. It was definitely nice to have seen it before. We first tried to win the stage with Mathias Vacek. He deserves to get his chance too. If there was an hesitation in the peloton, Romain Bardet and him would have had the possibility to win. It was ideal. I could sit behind and let other teams work. I’m happy with this win and adding another 50 points for the Maglia Ciclamino. I’m overwhelmed with winning again”.
