Your stage 14 winner, Mauro Santambrogio (Vini Fantini). “I came here with the main goal of winning a stage. The General Classification was a secondary thing for me. This win is recompense for the hard training and sacrifices I’ve been through since November. But now that I’m lying fourth in the General Classification, I can’t say I’m not thinking about it, although, after all I’ve been through so far during this Giro, I’m going to take it day by day.”share this photo

You dropped your former captain, Evans: “It gives me great confidence, although I have to thank Cadel because I learned a lot when I rode alongside him. With Cadel I learned how to prepare for a three-week tour. Now, as a captain on a team, I can really make the most of what I have learned.”

Riding on a small team: “I’ve had the fortune to ride for big teams like Lampre, and then BMC, when it was Number One in the world, On the other hand, you don’t get many opportunities to show yourself when you ride beside great champions like Evans, Gilbert, Hushovd, and Ballan. At this team, I’ve rediscovered the rider I was in the lower categories. To ride well, I need people close to me who encourage me and make me the centre of their focus.”
