“Alberto's withdrawal was a big loss. A collective dream went away. But we're ready to turn out the window. Everyone in the team has the same mentality. Now we focus on stage victories. We have to attack and I'll continue doing so, but not every day because it would be stupid. We've drawn a plan with stages according to the characteristics of certain riders. Today's stage was difficult. I've been surprised by how steep some climbs were. It was supposed to be for me or for Michael Rogers. At the end of the day, Daniele Bennati is the highest ranked of us in fourth place. However, we remain in the fight even though our initial dream has vanished.”
