Fernando Gaviria (Quick-Step Floors) - stage winner
It's been a different sprint today and a difficult sprint indeed but thanks to my team I managed to go back up and win one more stage. I'm now the Colombian with most stage victories at the Giro but it doesn't mean much. To me it means that I came to the Giro well prepared.
The curve was very complicated because you could take it from the outside, like [Max] Richeze and [Davide] Martinelli, but I tried to take it from the inside. But Sacha Modolo anticipated me so I was a bit boxed in. I managed to find a bit of space, and when I decided to come past Max and I made sure he saw me so that he wouldn't close the door. He did a great job, a stupendous job, and we achieved a win for the team and for Colombia.

I was lucky today. I was lucky to have the space. I'm lucky to have the legs and loyal teammates. Perhaps there are stronger riders but I had the luck.
I think we're still looking for one thing – we're looking to win this maglia ciclamino. That is our objective. I don't know what to expect from the week to come, it's going to be a difficult week, but I think we'll take it with motivation because we're taking four wins home already and we worked hard for this jersey.
