Ewen Costiou, 9th in Val Gardena!

“After Laurent Pichon and I told the riders that it didn’t change anything, that it was still a Giro stage that might have been shortened but was still beautiful, and above all that the challenge was the same. It was very difficult to get out on the flat, but then it all came naturally. Michel and Ewen were in front, Michel dropped back. Ewen found himself in front. In the final, we should have had more room to maneuver if we wanted to win. What I can say is that Ewen rode a great race, coming 9th in the Monte Pana. Wednesday is the 17th stage of the Giro d’Italia, and like every day, we’ll be resetting the counters.
