Marcel Kittel

Marcel Kittel wins Giro stage 2

The race: Here's what the organizer reported:

The German rider Marcel Kittel (Etixx – Quick Step) won the bunch sprint which decided Stage 2 of the 99th Giro d’Italia, 190km from Arnhem to Nijmegen. Arnaud Demare (FDJ) and Sacha Modolo (Lampre – Merida) finished second and third.

Dutch rider Tom Dumoulin (Team Giant – Alpecin) retained the race lead and kept the Maglia Rosa.

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Marcel Kittel said: “Firstly I want to say chapeau to the people of the Netherlands for the great atmosphere on the road today. I’m super happy to win the first bunch sprint of the Giro. Yesterday, the time trial was a good sign of my form. Today my team did a very good job to bring me to the front. I had to get through a few gaps to reach the front of the group. It was a tricky finale and I’m very happy with how it went. Now I’m one second away from the pink jersey. Step by step, I’m getting there”.

Race leader Tom Dumoulin said: “The whole race was a party! There were crowds everywhere. I enjoyed the moment because my team helped me keep the pink jersey in a really good way. Now Marcel Kittel is close in GC but the party continues”.

Marcel Kittel's Etixx-Quick Step had this to say about the day's racing:

Nijmegen witnessed a dominant victory of Marcel Kittel, as he took his 12th career success in a Grand Tour.

As the Giro d'Italia loomed on the horizon, Marcel Kittel stressed out that he's not just motivated for the first Grand Tour of the year, but also that he's enjoying his best ever spring, with no less than eight victories already to his name, among which was also a record fourth victory in Scheldeprijs. Confident in his and the team's strength, Marcel knew he wouldn't have to wait more to notch yet another win, which eventually came when everyone was expecting it, on the second day of the Corsa Rosa, in the Dutch city of Nijmegen.

Racing his second Giro d'Italia, Kittel patiently kept his powder dry throughout the day, as the peloton controlled a three-man break which took off right after the start and was caught with less than 10 kilometers to go. The 27-year-old waited for the team to safely negotiate the final kilometers of the stage, as Bob Jungels, Fabio Sabatini, Matteo Trentin and Lukasz Wisniowski did a great job by bringing him at top end of the bunch. Then, inside the last 200 meters, just as FDJ was trying to hit the front in the rush to the line, Marcel opened his devastating sprint, leaving everyone else behind and scoring an impressive victory, thus rekindling his long-standing relationshis with the Grand Tours, where he scored 12 wins so far.

After hitting the ground running at the Giro d'Italia and making two visits to the podium On Sunday – one for the stage victory and one to get the red jersey, of the points classification leader – Marcel sat down and talked about his day in the Netherlands, where he enjoyed not only his 9th success of the season, but also the fantastic and overwhelming atmosphere created by the thousands and thousands of Dutch fans lined up on the road.

"I was feeling really good today and started my sprint in a perfect moment. The team boxed its way through the peloton on the right side, it was incredible what they did and I'm very proud to see how strong the guys were. With the finish being in a downhill, I knew it was perfect for me and kicked-off my sprint with confidence. Winning the stage with a small gap was even better, especially as it came at the end of an incredible day. The fans were outstanding and supported us all the time, it was like a big party out there. I must say, the finish in Nijmegen was one of the most amazing I've ever seen", said Marcel after bringing Etixx – Quick-Step its 24th victory of the season.
