"Today the team worked all day for Diego (Ulissi) and me, keeping us at the front so we could reach the final climb in a good position. Unfortunately, the climb wasn’t as tough as I like, it was short, and everything happened quite fast. But today’s podium and the points we earned are thanks to the whole team, which did a fantastic job", – said Christian Scaroni after the race.
