the italian cyclist Giulio Ciccone (Trek-Segrafedo), winner of second stage of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana-Gran Premi Banc Sabadell and new race leader, he said he was “very happy” to start the season like this.
“I am very happy to start the season like this and I hope it continues. I had a very good job in the winter and for the first time without any problems”, said the rider at the end of the stage, which won this Thursday in Alto de Pinos (Benissa), in a sprint among the best in the general classification. .
“On the last climb, my sports director told me all the time: ‘you have to stay calm, you have to stay on someone else’s wheel’; So I waited until the last moment. The sensations are great,” he said.
“It was a hard stage. Before the start we knew we were strong. We only have five riders here but quality, not quantity,” he concluded.
