“A victory that I reached after many attempts this year. I felt really good and since this morning I told my teammates and directors that I would do the race and the sprint. I finally got unlocked, because already from the Giro di Sicily I was in good condition, I went out for a bad day at the Giro d’Italia, but I immediately returned to the Tour of Norway and then to Slovenia and the Italian. Finally here in Sibiu I have reaped the first fruits. I have to thank my teammates who have all done a splendid job, some from afar like Battaglin, some on the climb like Martinelli, some on the final train like Marcellusi and Colnaghi. And my DS who have always supported me and believed in me, just like my mother. With the victory the leader’s jersey also arrived, but the general classification is not our primary objective, even if tomorrow I will also be at the service of my most skilled climbing team mates and we will see what happens. “
