Speaking after the race, Nibali said, “I think that for me it was a very good test after the altitude training camp and ahead of the Giro d’Italia. It was a nice race, and I am feeling like I am on the right way. Well, I did the maximum I could today and, in general, during these four days, I couldn’t do more.”
Giuseppe Martinelli, Sports Director of Astana Qazaqstan Team, praised Nibali’s performance and the team’s effort, saying, “We were close to the race podium and it’s a pity we missed just two seconds to reach it. However, we can be happy with the way our team raced today and in these four days, the guys did an amazing job and Vincenzo is improving day by day.”
