Messing up the final corner caused Juan Pedro Lopez to brake hard. The young Spanish climber, although his rear wheel slid, he kept his bike upright, a chance of victory atop Mount Etna was gone and a tough second place was his. Soon after, the coveted maglia rosa was happily his.
"Kamna caught me in the last 2-3k, and worked together until the sprint. But I nearly crashed and... nothing. I wanted to win, but it was so difficult. Then I found out I have the jersey, and now I am so happy!
I will enjoy it today, tomorrow, I don't know how many days I will have it, but I will enjoy every moment."
-Juan Pedro Lopez
