He had even tried to attack Dani Martinez in the last four kilometers, a sprint that perhaps has wild Tadej Pogacar, then attacked alone, separating his rivals. In any case, the Colombian also proved to be brilliant on the Brocon Pass, maintaining the lead without any worries second position in the general classification at the Giro d’Italia.
The words at the arrival of the Bora-hansgrohe runner: “Today I started with the thought that differences could be made. In the previous climb I was without companions, but I have to thank Nairo Quintana, who gave me some gels, because really I was already without anything”.
The final ascent: “In the end, when I saw that INEOS was trying to control the race and that the gap was increasing, at some point I thought that maybe they wanted to set a pace so that no one attacks. When I heard that Ben O’Connor had broken away and Geraint Thomas was left with only Thymen Arensman, I decided to try and attack.” The decisive stage will be on Saturday with Monte Grappa: “There we will have a rather tough climb, I think the hardest of the whole Giro. We therefore remain focused on what we want to do.”
