Before the Giro:
"The Giro is the most beautiful race in the most beautiful country in the world. This year I would love to win a stage."
After Stage 18:
"It's really special to win a stage like this. It feels like the Tour of Flanders years ago. The team was in good spirit and today I had this great opportunity to go into the breakaway and try for the win."
- Alberto Bettiol wins his third professional win and first on home soil.
"We had to first make the breakaway. Then for Bettiol in the break, it was all about him trying to drop everybody. We are filled with joy and adrenaline. He's such an incredible bike rider."
-Matti Breschel, DS
