Milan “Our guys did great. I thought I would not win behind the echelons”.

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Jonathan Milan said:

“It feels great to win a third stage but there was a moment in which I was at the back of the peloton and echelons were formed. I’ll say it again: our guys did an amazing job to bring us back together. After that we stayed in the first positions of the peloton and I was delivered in perfect position before the sprint. Simone Consonni started his lead out from 400 metres to go. It’s impressive how everyone on the team was committed to the sprint finish. I’m super happy and proud of my team”.

Pogačar “Looking forward to tomorrow. Ineos did well, not enough crosswind”.

The Maglia Rosa Tadej Pogacar said:

“So far, something happened in every stage of the Giro d’Italia and today was no exception. It was flat but with some twisty roads and a little bit of wind, Ineos tried to do something but we were there with the team and there was not enough crosswind.

It was more of a headwind. They have a strong team to do that. If I was them, I’d also try something like that. It was worth trying. Tomorrow I hope to have the same feelings as in the last TT and finish very strongly. Then we’ll have the queen stage on Sunday and it will be a nice day”.
