Such a great moment for @pierrooorolland @rideargyle taking he finish line in @giroditalia ST17 🚴💨⚒ 🇫🇷 👉 “I woke up at 5am yesterday because I was very excited ahead of the Stelvio stage. This is my reason for being a cyclist, I love the history of my sport: this is the 100th Giro d’Italia. I love the great stages like yesterday’s. Unfortunately I had a bad day and I wondered if the good form I had at the beginning of the Giro was on the down but it wasn’t the case. Today, I felt great. I expected to perform yesterday or tomorrow but I decided to ride today as if there wasn’t any race tomorrow. Everyone was tired from the Stelvio stage. It was one of the hardest I’ve ever done. It was a question of courage today. Last winter I went to Colorado to discuss my season with Jonathan Vaughters, my team manager who is also my coach now, and we decided that I’d do the Giro and the Tour for stage wins. This is the kind of cycling that I truly like, more than racing for GC, which is stressful and doesn’t leave many opportunities to enjoy the racing. This sport is too hard for not having fun doing it. I enjoyed cycling a lot today!” Words @giroditalia and pic @pau13_3 for #socialpeloton 💗 . . . . . #giro100 #cycling #велоспорт #ciclismo #cyclisme #procycling #giro #giroditalia #fightforpink #amoreinfinito #corsarosa #girosp17 #uci #italy #italia #giroditalia2017 #pierrerolland #cannondale #cannondaledrapac #france #dolomiti #dolomites (at Canazei)
