Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Richard Carapaz said: “This stage being a quite difficult one and many people suffering since the first climb, I had good legs and I caught the opportunity to attack at the indicated moment. It could have split the group and I found myself alone, so it’s been a time trial for me till the finish line. I wasn’t disappointed yesterday. I know time trialing isn’t my forte. I saved everything I could. It gave me confirmation that I have good legs and I can continue fighting. It’s something special and emotional to win this stage because it comes after a lot of work and I wanted to please my family, my friends. I’ll try till the end to win the Giro. We have great opponents. I won’t stop fighting until we arrive in Rome”.
