"Well, it was not bad. I felt good today and was told to try to break away. My legs were in a proper condition and we did a good job to come to the finish ahead of the peloton. I tried my best to win, but it didn't work out. Thanks to my teammates and the whole team Gazprom-RusVelo, we will keep fighting and trying to claim victories!" — said Simone Velasco after the finish.
