I was a little afraid of being perceived as a traitor by some Russians: I did have some negative reactions on social networks, but it was really minor: 95% of people were understanding and supported me. Changing my nationality didn’t change me as a runner, but I feel it changed something in me as a man. I would have a hard time describing the feeling but yes, I feel different.”

Rising up in the general classification to 6th place 28 seconds behind Juan Pedro Lopez after his 11th place during the 9th stage, Guillaume Martin was satisfied with his race: “It was a stage that I feared a little after the efforts made yesterday (Saturday May 14 – NDR).

I am satisfied with my performance and where I am at the end of this first week.” The Cofidis rider looked back on his first week at the Tour of Italy: “It started out a bit complicated, especially on Etna, but I managed to put things right. If I take stock of this weekend, it’s really very positive, I’m really in the game for the general. Now it’s almost only the start of the Giro, there is still a lot to do. I will recover tomorrow (today – NDR) and in the first stages of next week, which will not should not be the most intense, and approach the next difficult days with motivation.”

After the race, the Team DSM rider had some regrets: “It’s hard to accept there, I made a mistake in the turn and it’s the few centimeters that I miss. I didn’t push too hard in the bump because I knew that in the sprint I was the fastest and I just wanted to get in the wheel of Carapaz and Hindley took 3 lengths at the turn, I didn’t think it was that short” Moved up to 3rd in the general classification, the Frenchman does not intend to play for the place of leader in the immediate future: “For the pink jersey, I didn’t know, it’s better to stay behind again.”
12:00 – Juan Pedro Lopez still leader, Bardet 3rd
