"Yesterday was such a sad day losing Mikel. Today we are going to ride in honour of Mikel's lost Giro."
-Gino Mader
"I cannot be more surprised and happier. It was not an easy stage with such weather conditions. I hope to enjoy this jersey with the team as much as possible."
-Atilla Valter. Making history as the first Hungarian to lead a Grand Tour.
"It was an extremely tough stage under harsh conditions, very wet and cold. I did my absolute best to stay as long as I could with the group of favorites in the last climb and try to limit any time losses as much as possible. We've had some awful weather in this first part of the Giro and I hope it improves from here on."
-Emanuel Buchmann. 16th on GC
