Paret-Peintre “I’m speechless. I grew up watching Bardet.”
Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Valentin Paret-Peintre said:
“To be honest, I can’t describe what I feel now. It’s amazing. I was in the breakaway to get a good result in a stage and why not a win. To have a Giro d’Italia stage as my first win is exceptional. I grew up watching Romain Bardet racing for the podium at the Tour de France. He made me dream about being a professional cyclist. To beat him today is incredible.
Having looked at the race profile, I knew I had to attack in the last 4km because it was the hardest part so I did. Doing it one year after my brother is special. Last year when he won his stage, my name was written by mistake on the bottle of Champagne. This time, I’m really the winner”.
