Turin, 30 May (LaPresse) – “I wanted to savour the final metres as much as possible; it was lovely to be able to ease off in the last kilometre and really enjoy this moment, along with all the spectators and the crowds lining the route. Wearing the pink jersey tomorrow in Rome is very special; the whole team has worked so hard over the last few weeks and again today. I’m so happy to seal this victory for them too, honouring everyone, including those affected by the earthquake. It’s a special day for us.” This was said by the pink jersey holder and Giro d’Italia winner Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) to Rai Sport after his victory in Piancavallo, on the stage that started from Gemona del Friuli, the epicentre of the earthquake that struck Friuli in 1976. ‘The Giro is always very unpredictable; it’s such a tough race, so many things can happen, but my team-mates have been extraordinary. They managed to control everything, and that’s why I’ve won five stages and managed to take the pink jersey as well,’ he concluded. “I’ve had some good results; today I felt really strong and had an excellent day. Naturally, I’m very happy and proud of today and the last three weeks.”
