Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Dario Cataldo said: âI wasnât even thinking of breaking away after I suffered so much these past two days. But as the race began, my legs felt ok. I just followed Cattaneoâs attack. Then I was confident in myself. To win a stage at the Giro dâItalia is amazing. Itâs something Iâve been dreaming of all my life.â
The race leader Richard Carapaz said: âWe knew it would be a nervous finale with a dangerous downhill so I paid attention to Vincenzo Nibaliâs moves and it went well at the end. A rest day is now well deserved for my team and myself before the hard stages that are yet to come.â
