These are the words of Alessandro Tonelli on the finish line: “Making the third stage of the Giro d’Italia is a wonderful emotion. I finally managed to get into the right escape. Many times in the past few days I went in and did several km wind in my face, also entering in and then being closed by the group. Today we started really strong, over 60km / h on average in the first hour and we took off. I tried to manage myself well to play my chances in the final. I was aware that I was beaten in the sprint so I tried to anticipate but they closed me. We did not expect the last corner so at a right angle and the two of them went a bit long. This very important placement, after the excellent results of my teammates, is the demonstration that the team’s tactic of focusing on important breakaway worked perfectly. Where we reached the finish line we are never missing, unlike others. The energies after this day are low, but the head knows that tomorrow is the last stage in line so if there is an opportunity, why not try again. “
